Benjamin. Amazing Blend. Still prefer the Winston and Patriarch over it. — 17 days ago
Golden color in the glass. Notes of meyer lemon, golden apple and butterscotch. Very creamy, vanilla extract and more oak than most enjoy. Not much acidity but a nice lengthy finish. — 2 months ago
Quite possibly the best Cabernet Sauvignon I’ve ever had.

Nice wine, modest/sot tannins, good fruit drinkable now but should open up in next few years — 20 days ago
One of Australia’s best Cabernets. Sue Hodder who is Wynns’ chief winemaker told me that only the best 2% of their wide resources of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes goes into John Riddoch. I guess it explains the continuing high quality of Black Label (the next Cabernet down in the Wynns range and an unbelievable bargain). Sue was the chief winemaker in 2008 when she made this wine and remains the chief winemaker at Wynns. See previous Delectable note as things haven’t changed much. Coonawarra Mint, cassis and blackcurrant. A full bodied palate with fine persistent tannins. — 2 months ago
