About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Caberent SauvignonCoonawarra, AustraliaJohn 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 Coonawarra soil.
With juicy red cherry and blueberry fruit with fine, glossy tannins, initially the wine is restrained but the layers of succulent Cabernet are soon revealed. 2015 was an outstanding year in our terra rossa vineyards. The concentration and persistence of flavour on the palate is testament to the vintage. Fine-grained subtle oak and ripe fruit tannins frame the fruit for both early drinking and long-term cellaring.

John Riddoch represents a tiny fraction (1% or thereabouts) of the Wynns Coonawarra Estate cabernet crush in the years in which it is made. This is a classic release, unusually supple and already balanced. Blackcurrant/cassis fruit sweeps along the palate, nuances of Coonawarra mint and earth joining with quality French oak following on behind.

A graceful wine that takes its time to reveal layer upon opulent layer of concentrated fruit flavours. Damson plum, cranberries, sweet high quality oak, vanilla, graphite and ripe tannins are among the elements to discover. Now, it is tightly structured with a long future ahead of it, albeit elegant and refined. It is a Coonawarra classic. One of the best John Riddochs ever!
