1990 Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

First made in 1982, the John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon was conceived as a flagship wine for Wynns. John Riddoch himself was a true visionary. Amongst his many achievements are the building of the Wynns Gabled winery and the establishment of Coonawarra Fruit Colony John 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 terra rossa soil. It has become a definitive Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, made only in years when grapes of extraordinarily high quality are available, using less than one percent of the top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

Critic tasting note: (1990 vintage) "Spicy red and dark fruit, a bit of graphite and an herb note—in a positively Bordeaux manner—mark this youthful wine. Bright acidity supports the fruit, and the mouthfeel is even and supple, not fat. The finish is lovely, with cassis, black-and white-pepper notes and even, smooth tannins." - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
