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.
Critic tasting note: (2010 vintage) "Fragrant enticing cabernet nose with light vanilla, cassis, tobacco, cedar, black cherry, smoky, violet, black olive aromas with a touch of balsamic. Rich, ripe and full palate with smooth but grainy tannins plenty of juicy acidity. Surprisingly elegant at five years of age the palate mixes coffee, vanilla and chocolate flavours with cassis, blackberry, licorice, smoky black olive, pipe tobacco, cedar and smoked meat notes. It has fine intensity and balance without being too hard. Drinkable now but will benefit from another five to ten years aging in bottle to fully soften the tannins. Pure Coonawarra and a keeper. (Anthony Gismondi and Stuart Tobe)." - 94/100, Gismondi on Wine
