Riddoch The Author Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

An elegant and stylish Coonawarra Cabernet. Distinctive notes of meaty blackcurrant on the nose. One minute it’s red fruit and the next black, that emerges, yet all is so perfectly woven with the firmish tannins and liberal oak. It’s sort of wild and exotic on the one hand but controlled and poised on the other.
