WynnsJohn Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
About this product
Considered by many as the pinnacle of Cabernet Sauvignon expression in Australia, Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon is only made in the years that are considered truly great and can showcase the famed Terra Rossa soil at its finest. The 2005 John Riddoch comes from an outstanding vintage that was warmer than normal with minimal rainfall. Showing all the typical blackcurrant and cassis fruit upfront, yet it's beginning to add some complexity to the palate after some time in the bottle.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Wonderfully precise and clear varietal fruit in a ripe, but not overripe, mould; cassis and redcurrant flavours; fine tannins and quality oak.
