This isn't just any cabernet. This is the John Riddoch. Australia's most revered flagship wine, made only in exceptional years from less than 1% of Wynns' finest terra rossa fruit. Since 1982, this wine has defined what premium Australian cabernet should be. And the 2019 might just be the best vintage yet - 97/98pts across the board.

Why do we love this wine?
So what makes 2019 so special? Perfect vintage conditions created a "brightly lit" John Riddoch that flows with elegant restraint. The lifted nose has a gorgeous violet perfume, bright red and dark cherries, with brooding undertones of chestnut and bitter dark chocolate. The palate delivers vivid red and black forest berries in a classical full-bodied frame, extending with great persistence to a long finish marked by sandalwood and finely detailed tannins. The critics are unanimous: 98pts Halliday. 98pts Winsor Dobbin. 97pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate. 97pts Andrew Caillard MW. Campbell Mattinson calls it "stellar" and "everything you could hope for in a cabernet." Erin Larkin declares it "truly sublime." - you get the idea. This is the real deal. Ready to drink now but built to age gracefully until 2040 or so. Whether you're opening it for life's biggest celebrations or laying it down for future generations, this is Australian wine history in a bottle.
