With over 25 years winemaking experience, Ben Riggs certainly knows how to get the best out of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is evident in this rippingexample. It’s a full-bodied red that has great varietal signatures and solid cellaring potential. Featuring a nose full of blackberry, cigar box, earth and leather aromas. The palate is characterised by black fruit flavours with a racy vein of redcurrant, vibrant acid drive, leafy tannins and background charry oak.
Past Accolades and Awards:
James Halliday: 93 Strong red-purple; another success for Morambro Creek in this excellent vintage; it is flush with cassis and redcurrant fruit backed by very good tannins, oak unseen in the background. Drink anywhere, any time (responsibly). Terrific value.
