The 2012 vintage is a powerful yet beautifully composed release, showing classic blackcurrant driven Cabernet character, layered savoury detail and the kind of structure that has made John Riddoch one of Australia’s benchmark cellar worthy Cabernets. With more than a decade of bottle age, it is entering a superb drinking window while still holding ample depth for further development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"731\" data-start=\"165\"\u003eHalliday Wine Companion - 97 Points \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"731\" data-start=\"165\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe depth of its purple crimson hue telegraphs an ultra powerful wine of impeccable breed and balance, needing a minimum of 10 years to relax. In wine terms, the case to delay its release to coincide with that of Grange is obvious, but in financial terms it simply won't happen.

John Riddoch is the estate’s flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, first released in 1982 and named in honour of Wynns’ founder. It is produced in small quantities from the most exceptional estate Cabernet fruit, all grown in Coonawarra’s famous terra rossa soils, and has become one of the country’s most recognisable collector wines. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1823\" data-start=\"1800\" data-section-id=\"7p6opv\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2129\" data-start=\"1825\"\u003eDrinking beautifully now, but still with the structure and balance to reward further careful cellaring over the medium term.
