Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra

South Australia

Coonawarra

Super pure with aromas of red berries, vanilla, canapole melon and some earthy tones. 

Very complex in the mouth and lasts for a long time. Tastes the same as it smells but also some hints of dark chocolate.

Excellent wine🍷

Amateur

Deep inky purple, full concentration, gorgeous chalky tannins, this is just such a consistently impressive wine, with stretched out architecture and a real kick of freshness, full of Cabernet Sauvignon cassis that sits on the edge of capsicum and eucalyptus, with rose bud and raspberry leaf, black truffle, espresso, cocoa bean, peppery fleshy plum. Savoury, intense and highly spiced. Great quality, tasted twice, easily one of the best wines of the September Releases.

Inside Bordeaux

Intense inky purple in colour, and these tannins are silky smooth. Opens with controlled delivery of juicy black cherry, cassis and damson, with plenty of estate signature, majoring on smoked earth and oyster shell salinity. The longer you sit with it, the more the underlying brightness of the fruit comes through, delivering in spades the blackcurrant pastille that is such a signature of Australian Cab. Cold flowering in Spring meant this was an extremely small crop, down as low as 2 tons per hectare instead of the usual 6, and the 2020 John Riddoch comes from a single vineyard (Child's Vineyard) because of the cooler-than-average season, with extremely old 19th century vines helping achieve this concentration and complexity. 23% new oak, Sue Hodder winemaker.

Dyp rød farge. Krydder, mørke bær og herbale toner på duft og smak. Elegant og smakfull. Markerte tannoiner  og medium pluss syrlighet. Dekanter gjerne vinen en time før servering. 90 flasker tilgjengelig i Norge.

Sommelier

Mørke bær av blåbær, bjørnebær og solbær, blyantspiss, furu, sjokolade og vanilje.  
Flott konsentrasjon på smak og en frisk, god syre. Ettersmaken sitter lenge.

Expert

Wynns had a run of good vintages in the 1990s, and this is still showing sculpted blue fruits, if less muscular than the 1990. Cassis, loganberry, blueberry, smoky notes, powered by an intense tannic frame and bright acidity that is just a little marked (they would be adjusting acidities perhaps a little heavily at the time). Peter Douglas winemaker, and this is at a great moment to drink.

The first ever vintage, made by John Wade, who had returned from Bordeaux in 1981 full of inspiration, and separated a plot of vines from Wynns Black Label. An exceptional year in Coonawarra as well as in Bordeaux and even today at over 40 years old you'll find liqourice, grilled herbs, pot pourri, campfire and fragrant dried roses. Still vigorous and full of wisdom. Tertiary, of course, with soft tannins, mushrooms and incense, just the hint of raspberry fruit at this point. A great example of why this slice of Terra Rossa soils over limestone bedrock was worth separating out. All own rooted vines, some dating back to the 1890s. This says 12% on the label, but the team thinks it is probably close to 13%, and the winemakers at the time might even had double oaked for the fermentation and ageing. A very different approach to today but it has stood the test of time, and this is delicious.
