A selection of less than the top 1% of Wynns Cabernet Sauvignon production, and only made in top years, the John Riddoch Limited Release has a deep, dense colour, and pure, fragrant, concentrated aromas of blackcurrant fruit with suggestions of eucaluptus and baked earth. With super-refined texture on the palate, it has fabulous succulence and easiness, with only a hint of 'edge' to the tannin - although there is nothing to get in the way of enjoying this immediately. This has the precision and sophistication of the most premium echelons of Bordeaux, however its silky finesse brings Burgundy to mind. Essentially, it is itself: a fabulous wine that testifies eloquently to its vineyard origin, and to the expert hand that raised and fashioned it. While this will impress straight away, it could also be cellared for 15 years or longer.

Press Review
97/100 - 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. Drink 2025 - 2052
Press Review
96/100 - Quite a smokey, reductive nose at first. Excellent structure, full and wide in the mouth but with soft powdery tannins that grow in structure as time goes on. Wonderfully ripe and rich - blackcurrants, black cherries and cigar smoke. Juicy and sumptuous, this is rich and is something you want to curl up around a hot fire in the winter. Captivating and so well made. Carries lovely flavours but with a moreish element that you just want another glass straight away. Eminently drinkable. Ends stony, fresh, minty with a herbal tinge. Drinking Window: 2026 - 2040
