Critic tasting note: "Still kicking almost 20 years later, with good grip and fine tannins on the palate. Flavors are of black plum and earth; could still go another 5–10 years." - 91/100, Wine Enthusiast

- Producer Notes
- Wynns is the Coonawarra's most recognised wine producer. With substantial vineyard holdings on the famous thin strip of terra rossa soil, the wines are benchmarks for the region and lauded for both their quality and flavour. Led by one of Australia's best-known winemakers, Sue Hodder has been guiding vintages at Wynns for over 23 years. In 2010, her partnership with viticulturalist Allen Jenkins, was recognised when they were awarded joint recipients of the Gourmet Traveller WINE’s Winemaker of the Year. The Siding is named after the railway siding - a local landmark that played a defining role during Coonawarra's early settlement. "the aim of this wine is to deliver a leading affordable Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing exceptional varietal and regional characteristics of red cherry, mint and dark berry flavours, while an array of gentle tannins will further reward from short to medium term cellaring" - Sue Hodder.

Vintage quality: Excellent
Current condition: Likely past it
The 1986 Australian vintage had all the potential to be excellent but was sadly hampered by a lack of suitable technology.
The growing season for much of the country was warm and dry and, as a result, many regions produced excellent reds although the Barossa did hav...
