Celebrating a decade of Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon vintages, the gold medal winning 1992 Cabernet continues the style of rich, firm and grand wines under this label - the essence of Coonawarra Cabernet.Only made and blended in good vintages from small parcels of the very best Coonawarra fruit, this wine received extended new French oak maturation and deserves a decade or more in the cellar to realise it's full potential.

The wine was matured in new French oak hogsheads for 20 months. The 1992 Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet is dense purple and blood plum red in colour, indicative of its youth. Rich, ripe and complex, the enticing bouquet is a powerful infusion of cassis, mint, ground coffee, dark chocolate and leafy Cabernet aromas layered over integrated charry, lemony French oak. Full bodied and powerful, the wine is firmly structured and intensely flavoured with lashings of cassis, ripe red berry and oak character. Typical of the style, it is richly textured and finishes dry with rich but not aggressive tannin, firm astringency and great persistence of fruit and oak flavours. 13.5% alcohol volume.
