Your Wine Guy says:
The Gables is another masterful release from the Coonawarra legends, Wynns.
Only produced in high quality vintages, The Gables has previously been reserved for the restaurant trade and cellar door release only. Thanks to our friends at Wynns, Your Wine Guy is proud to be able to offer you access to the small parcels of this superb limited release offering from the Wynns stable. The Gables has all the characters of a classic Coonawarra dry red. Selected parcels of premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz have created a full-bodied yet supple wine. Cabernet Sauvignon (75%), Shiraz (25%). The Cabernet Sauvignon provides the blackcurrant and unmistakable Coonawarra cigar box character. The Shiraz then flows through offering the 'juiciness'. Seems like Wynns are forging a Coonawarra styled ‘little brother’ to the Bin 389.

The winemaker says:
The wine spent 16 months in a mix of seasoned and new French and American oak barrels.
Colour: Deep red with garnet edges.
Nose: Lifted plums and dark berry fruit, backed by subtle mint and cedary oak.
Palate: Up-front blackberry Cabernet fruit is followed by juicy berry Shiraz. Chocolate/Mocha-like oak fills out the seams finishing with fine grained tannins. Sue Hodder
