Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is the estate’s flagship single-vineyard Cabernet from Coonawarra’s Terra Rossa. Dense, concentrated black fruit supported by tobacco, cedar and graphite notes, with refined oak and solid tannic backbone. Built for the cellar but rewarding in its youth with decanting. Pairs well with grilled ribeye, lamb chops, or aged cheeses; a long-lived choice for collectors.
Tasting notes
Appearance: Deep ruby with a hint of garnet at the rim.
Nose: Intense blackcurrant and blackberry core; tobacco leaf, cedar, pencil lead, graphite; subtle minty lift.
Palate: Full-bodied and layered; concentrated dark fruit, hints of dark chocolate and espresso; firm, finely grained tannins; balanced acidity; oak provides spice and vanilla.
Finish: Long and focused; persistent fruit with a mineral, cedary nuance.
Overall: Classic Coonawarra Cabernet—powerful, age-worthy, and racily structured.
