[SOLD-OUT] Wynns Johnson's Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

 

 

"This distinctive wine comes from the oldest surviving cabernet bock in Coonawarra, planted back in 1954. Loads of dark chocolate coated blackcurrant and rich plummy fruit open on the nose. Bright red fruit sits over the nose and gradually reveals itself as it ages. The palate is seamlessly structured with a chalky vibrancy. This single vineyard wine is the result of winemakers Sue Hodder and Sarah Pidgeon looking at the best blocks in good years and picking just one. I reckon they got things pretty darn right this year. The colour is quite brilliant and almost luminescent." - Ray Jordan

 

"There's an opulence to the 2018 vintage reds and yet Wynns always manages to coat the wines with a layer of elegance. It helps to have access to the oldest cabernet vines in Coonawarra, Johnson's Block planted in 1954. This is only the 2nd release as a single-vineyard wine. It's all about precision, from a core of ripe fruit, its length to beautifully shaped silk-coated tannins." - Wine Companion

 

"Fresh dark cherry, blackcurrant, roasted coffee, sage aromas with underlying cedar notes. Well concentrated inky palate with plentiful dark cherry, blackcurrant fruits roasted chestnut, marzipan, vanilla oak notes, fine grained tannins and integrated mineral fresh acidity. Finishes claret firm with plentiful developed sweet fruit notes and a fine chalky plume. A lovely reserve style cabernet with suppleness, evenness and generosity." - Andrew Caillard
