1997 Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L Magnum

1500ml Magnum bottle level into neck, cellar scuffed label Awards, Ratings & Reviews 94/100 — James Halliday (1997 Vintage, Tasted: Oct 1999) “Deep purple-red; sweet cassis fruit and powerful but integrated oak on the bouquet lead into a power-packed palate, rich and deep, with tannins providing a sledgehammer finish. History shows that the tannins will in fact soften. Drink to 2015.” About This Wine First made in 1982, the John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon was conceived as a flagship wine for Wynns. John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon is made in small quantities from the best available fruit grown on the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon plantings in the heart of the terra rossa soil. It is only made in years when grapes of extraordinarily high quality are available, using less than one percent of the top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. About the Winery Wynns Coonawarra Estate is well known for its Cabernet Sauvignon wines from the famed terra rossa soils of the Coonawarra region of South Australia. Founded in 1891 by John Riddoch and later acquired by David and Samuel Wynn, the estate grew to become the largest vineyard holding in the region. The winery is now part of the Treasury Wine Estates portfolio.
