2005 Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

*Minor Label Damage, please refer to the second and third images 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: (2005 vintage) "Cassis, spicy, floral, blueberry, coffee, vanilla, peppery, black olive, rooty, leather, light cedar and menthol aromas. Dry, round, fresh, slightly tannic but elegant palate but slightly lighter extract. Vanilla, smoky, coffee, black olive, tobacco leaf, cedar, menthol, cassis, blueberry and herb flavours. More elegant cool style that will age well another three to five years. (Anthony Gismondi and Stuart Tobe)." - 91/100, Gismondi on Wine Drinking Window: 2009-2025
