Wynns John Riddoch Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Deep crimson. Lovely pure blackcurrant elderberry herb garden aromas with hints of espresso/roasted chestnut notes. Beautiful concentrated wine with blackcurrant elderberry chinotto herb flavours, fine­-grained and plentiful yet vigorous tannins, superb mid palate richness and integrated roasted chestnut/cedar oak notes. Finishes chalky firm with a long inky/graphite plume. Made for the long haul. Powerfully expressive yet unforced wine with superb vinosity, richness, density and volume. Superb. The fruit derives from the [Victoria and Albert Lane] and Nursery Vineyards, both located on classic terra rossa soils. From a dry, mild to warm growing season. Wait a few years to let it unfold, 2025­-2050. Score – 100. (Andrew Caillard, MW, Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine, Jan. 1, 2020)
