Wynns Coonawarra Estate O'Deas Single Vineyard Cabernets
A Bordeaux-esque expression that marries that classic Bordelaise blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc) with Terra Rossa character. Pretty, aromatic, and fresh, the O’Deas red blend hails from a single vineyard: the O’Deas 3.13 – although the Wynns team refer to it affectionately as ‘The Hobbit’, due to the short stature of the vines and their wide ‘feet’ (roots). This is an inaugural release for Wynns. Every year, the Coonawarra legends select one parcel of wine to bottle as a single vineyard special. This year’s bottle is a true field blend. With lavender and menthol on the nose, alongside light anise and blackberry, it is fresh and aromatic. This has the pedigree and deliciousness to go the distance.
