Wynns Coonawarra Estate

Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 1982

Well if the 82 Bordeaux are proving amazing so is this Wynns 82; like it's cousins in the Medoc; very cabernet dominant; winemaker at the time John Wade, now a WA resident; had his first go at small barrique winemaking; now more cleverly used by Sue Hodder; current winemaker; this 13% wine still has the black fruit of correctly ripe cabernet; and the tannin draw and backbone which ticks my boxes; great drink from Coonawarra; wished more from that region show this way; the bar is set; 33 years later; #wynns #coonawarra #cabernet #1982 — 11 years ago

The John Riddoch from the same year was a stunner as well.

Agree; but more oakier than the black; double new oaking has made the Riddoch a trifle oily; whereas the black looks integrated.

The Siding Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Nose layered with savoury herb. Nice ripe fruit, grippy tannin and an underlying savoury complexity. These few years have done a lot of good for its drinkability — 11 years ago

Yalumba

The Menzies Coonawara Cabernet Sauvignon

I had the 2010 vintage... It was delicious. It needs some air (give or take 30 min) to get rid of a slight musty smell but even immediately after pouring it tastes amazingly balanced! Very round cab sav with tastes of blackberries and cassis and even some cheeky but very welcomed hint of soil. Perfect combination for my lamb. Will definitely try it again! — 11 years ago
