1986 Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
Base of Neck
The 1986 Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinguished expression from one of Australia’s most historic Cabernet-producing regions. Crafted only in exceptional vintages, this wine showcases the best parcels from the famed terra rossa soils of Coonawarra.
Deep ruby with a garnet edge, this mature Cabernet opens with lifted aromas of cassis, dried mint, tobacco leaf, cedar, and earthy spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, offering refined structure with softened tannins, rich dark berry fruit, savoury notes of leather and forest floor, and well-integrated oak. Decades of cellaring have added elegance and complexity, making this vintage a benchmark for aged Australian Cabernet.
Recognised for its longevity and classic regional character, the 1986 John Riddoch continues to impress with its balance, depth, and aged finesse. A rare and collectible wine, ideal for connoisseurs and special occasions.
