Do we always have to compare any high-quality cabernet sauvignon to a Bordeaux? Maybe not, but sometimes it makes it easier to describe the wine. Per and I tasted one of Australia’s top cabernet sauvignon wines the other day. The wine was John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 from Wynns Coonawarra Estate.

Per tasted blind, and the first thing he said was that it had a distinct Bordeaux feeling. And I understood exactly what he meant. A few days later, I had a zoom chat with the head winemaker at Wynns, Sue Hodder, to learn more about the wine and the winery.
