The 2018 Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of Coonawarra Cabernet, crafted only in outstanding vintages from the region’s finest terra rossa vineyards. This limited flagship release embodies power, elegance, and longevity.
The bouquet opens with intense aromas of blackcurrant, mulberry, and dark cherry, seamlessly interwoven with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and fine French oak spice. The palate is rich and layered, displaying concentrated dark fruits, graphite, and subtle earthy nuances, supported by firm yet silky tannins and a vibrant acid line. The finish is long, refined, and beautifully balanced, showcasing both structure and finesse.
Serving & Cellaring:
An outstanding match for roast lamb, wagyu beef, or aged cheeses. While approachable now, it is built for decades of cellaring, evolving into a wine of profound complexity.
