2010 Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon

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.

96 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
Very deep red/purple colour, youthful and impressive. Lots of oak to sniff, dominating the nose at first. But what good oak it is! Lots of black and blue fruits as well. The palate is medium to full-bodied and very firm, with lots of tannin, leading to a mouth-puckering, lip-smacking aftertaste. A very potent wine which needs a lot of cellar time. I wouldn't touch it for at least five years. Very impressive; great potential.
