Wynns Coonawarra Estate 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.
