Wynns Coonawarra Estate, John Riddoch, Coonawarra, South Australia, 2009

Tasting: Coonawarra & Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Nose of fresh spelt bread. Deep, intense luxury fruit on palate which gives way to a lovely hint of vanilla brioche. Cherries come through on palate with a touch of sour but in a good way Clean, fresh tannins, still has a way to go. It will change constantly so a really good trail to follow.

Tasting: Coonawarra & Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep & bright. Toasty new oak, discreet/closed, oak dominating. Chocolatey fruit, very extracted, dense palate, oaky, heavy. Modern.

Tasting: Coonawarra & Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep youthful colour, nice fresh bright cassis and black cherry on the nose, good ripe sweet black cherry fruit concentration with vigorous, youthfully chunky tannins, spicy liquoricey undertones and firm, cleansing finish in an attractively sinewy structure.
