Wynns Coonawarra Estate 2013 John Riddoch

There is no doubt that $150 is a lot of money to splash out for one bottle of wine; even when it is one of Australia's benchmark cabernet sauvignons. But if you do have some cash to spare, or are looking for a special Father's Day present, then this new release might fit the bill. All six of the new Wynnsday releases are outstanding but this is the pick of the bunch, a wine of impeccable balance that is long and structured with cassis, chocolate and licorice notes allied to classy French oak. Supple, stylish and downright fabulous. $150. www.wynns.com.au.
