Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Coonawarra, South Australia
Yet another barnstorming and profound John Riddoch by winemaker Sue Hodder, who continues to fashion this Australian icon in such an elegant and refined style. Super-impressive deep colour and inviting primary aromas of cassis, cedar and violets. The classic Cabernet palate is beautifully judged and delivers a sublime flourish of blackcurrant, cherry, and mulberry together with cocoa powder, cigar box and minerals. The texture, density and balance here are also superb thanks to the core of fresh, lively acidity and dense, fine-grained tannins. Pleasingly mid-weight in structure, the finish is gloriously long. There is no question that this world-class wine is also one of the best John Riddochs of recent years. Precociously broachable now, it will easily age for another forty years.
