Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Powerful yet refined, with cassis, blackberry and dark cherry layered with violet, mint, cedar and subtle graphite. The palate is concentrated and precise, with vibrant acidity, finely structured tannins and impressive length, finishing with persistent dark fruit and savoury complexity.

Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, braised beef, venison, mushroom dishes, aged cheddar, or herb-crusted meats.

97 Points - Robert Parker The Wine Advocate

The 2022 John Riddoch Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon is routinely a magnificent wine, a bastion of age-worthy Cabernet, framed in the Coonawarra paradigm of ripe fruit and ferruginous tannin. Here, the 2022 tastes bloody, meaty and chewy, with sweet roasted marrow and black exotic spices. Everything about this vintage is black. The wine is brooding and intense, yet it is also pure and focused; blackberry, pomegranate molasses, cassis, sumac and aniseed all mingle among the sea of structuring, cocoa-powder-esque tannins. It's a thing of inchoate beauty, one that will unfurl over many decades to come. 13.5% alcohol. Sealed under natural cork.

95 Points - James Suckling

Perfumed aromas of blackcurrants, tobacco, dark cherries, cedar, cigar box and violets. The palate is full-bodied and seamless, with fine tannins and densely packed flavors of blackberries, bitter chocolate, iron and dried herbs. A polished and refined wine that is built for aging but is drinking well now. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
