Tasting Notes
97 Points James Halliday
A fascinating contrast to the Davis Single Vineyard; I never expected a young John Riddoch to be elegant and silky, but this is, its intense blackcurrant and cassis fruit caressing the mouth and drawing out the saliva. Less than 1% of Wynns Coonawarra cabernet goes to make this wine.
