WynnsAlex 88 Cabernet 2012
About this product
The Wynns Alexanders’ Block was planted with Cabernet Sauvignon in 1988 (hence the name, Alex 88). The Terra Rossa soil in this vineyard is a deep, light clay which produces even, low cropping Cabernet Sauvignon vines with excellent fruit intensity.
The 2012 Alex 88 is named after the Alexander family who owned the land from the early 1900s until 1966. The vineyard reliably contributes grapes to Wynns' John Riddoch and Black Label Cabernet and it is fitting to acknowledge this quality with an individual label.

Planted by Wynns in '88, and right from the outset has produced exceptional cabernet, often included in John Riddoch or Black Label. The exceptional quality of '12 has facilitated the release of enough fruit to make this wine, which is an exemplary example of medium-bodied cabernet, its black fruits held in a fine web of ripe tannins and French oak.
