Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet 2021
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 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.

Nose:
An immediate lifted bouquet of scented florals and red fruits. Violets and rose petal aromas are a hallmark of a great Wynns vintage and the 2021 has them in abundance. Berries and cherries are apparent with hints of dried sage.
Palate:
Fresh red and dark cherry palate is lively and alluring. Supple and very fine tannins meshed with fresh acidity. The 2021 has the piquancy of a young wine, yet it is already integrated for drinking. Chestnuts and dark chocolate are apparent on the finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon (100%)
