MILDARA Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra 2007

Dressed in the label made famous by the Mildara Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and nicknamed Peppermint Pattie; this is said to be an attempt to capture the distinctive characters of the dodging the complex questions that aim creates, this is a high quality Coonawarra cabernet, with blackcurrant, earth, dark chocolate, mint and cedar on the medium-bodied, long palate, tannins and French oak both positive.

WYNNS COONAWARRA ESTATE John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra 2021

Very deep, dark, impenetrable purple colour; a gorgeous fragrance of spicy superripe berries and a hint of licorice, super concentrated and almost essency. Traces of soy sauce and nori. The wine is highly concentrated on the palate; powerful, profound and rich, with masses of sweetly ripe berry fruit and no sign of herbal varietal touches. A profound and multi-dimensional cabernet that will richly reward long-term cellaring. It drinks superbly already but it would be sacrilege to open it before it's had more time to build the tertiary complexity that we know will come with time.
