Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet

About This Wine

First made in 1982, the John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon was conceived as a flagship wine for Wynns. Made in small quantities from the best available fruit grown on the Wynns 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. The 2018 release displays a fresh and inviting aroma of red and black cherries, with dried mint and fresh violets adding floral notes. This is a wine of great freshness balance and power that will certainly reward good cellaring. A seamless line of perfectly ripe fruit is supported by a fine tannin framework.
