| Description: | Wine Advocate 97+ Points - "The refinement of coopers (a result of repeated and long-term R&d over the years) is now starting to emerge as a key part of the success of these new release, premium wines. The selected one or two coopers work to preface the fruit and support the fruit and show the terroir This is why we drink wine: to taste the place that it came from and to be transported there, if even for a moment. This 2019 John Riddoch Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon is exceptionalit is pure and has tannic sway and flow, and the palate is steeped in five spice, raspberry, mulberry, cassis and black tea. Inchoate. Don't touch it for seven years at least. Even then.". With history dating back to the late 1800's, Wynns Coonawarra Estates is the region's pre-eminent wine producer. Established in 1951, Wynns Coonawarra Estate is the largest single vineyard, with the best and longest established vineyard sites in Coonawarra. The wines are regarded as benchmarks for the district, lauded for their consistent quality and depth of flavour. What is now Wynns Coonawarra Estate was founded by Scottish pioneer John Riddoch. He planted vineyards in 1891 and completed the estate's famous three-gabled winery in 1896. Later in 1951 Melbourne wine merchants Samuel and David Wynn purchased Riddoch's original vineyards and winery and renamed the property Wynns Coonawarra Estate. The Wynns family recognised the intrinsic qualities of Coonawarra wines - their richness and intensity of fruit character - and set out to build an independent identity in the region. They created the famous label that has made John Riddoch's winery one of Australia's best known buildings and a recognised symbol of heritage and refinement, qualities Wynns prides itself on. |
