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

Tasting
Colour : Intense red/black with great depth and brightness.
Nose : Pure, focused and refined. Beautifully balanced acidity and freshness ensure that this wine will live gracefully for 30 years
Palate : Plush and juicy ripe cassis flavours combine with a
mocha like creaminess from French oak.
Beautifully textured. A fine tannin line frames
powerful fruit, providing all the hallmarks of a
great John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon for the
cellar.
Contains sulfites
