Description
First made in 1982, the John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon was conceived as a flagship wine for Wynns.
John Riddoch himself was a true visionary.
Amongst his many achievements are the building of the Wynns Gabled winery and the establishment of the Coonawarra Fruit Colony John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon is made in small quantities from the best available fruit grown on the estate’s extensive Cabernet Sauvignon plantings in the heart of the terra rossa soil It has become a definitive Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, made only in years when grapes of extraordinarily high quality are available, using less than one percent of the top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
Deep crimson.
Intense dark cherry, blackcurrant pastille, praline aromas.
Plush generous and chocolaty with saturated dark cherry, blackcurrant fruits, fine velvety tannins, superb integrated roasted chestnut oak complexity and superb mineral length.
Finishes al-dente firm with a lovely classic tannin plume.
A gorgeously seductive yet refined wine with the structure and density for medium to long term aging.
