Wynns Messenger Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
An absolute ripper, that seriously rivals its big brother the John Riddoch. The 2010 Messenger is the second release from this vineyard, planted in 1985. The dry-grown block has deeper terra rossa soils which produce great wines in warmer seasons, and it is fitting to acknowledge this quality with an individual label. The warm and even 2010 vintage was ideally suited for this vineyard, on the southern end of the terra rossa strip, providing the perfect showcase for this elegant, fine wine.
Winemaker Notes
Colour:
Intense red with vibrant hues.
Nose:
Lifted mint, violets and blueberries.
Palate:
A complex array of cherry and dark-berry fruit, meshing with the classical mint which is the hallmark of this southern Coonawarra vineyard. Integrated tannins frame the savoury, succulent palate. A gentle, stylish Cabernet with subtlety and layers to ensure great medium term cellaring
