Ben Riggs knows McLaren Vale like the back of his hand, we reckon he could drive from one end to the other blindfolded, no worries. Knowledge of the land, climate, soils, wind etc, is what making regionally perfect wine is all about. This stunner is pretty unique, with plush ripe fruit and a good lick of (35% new) French and American oak that you would normally only find in a bottle worth north of $100. There's plenty of palate weight, heaps of fruit, gorgeous spice and velvety tannins. The cricket fans at Vinomofo HQ really wanted to like this wine, none of us knew we were going to love it so, damn, much.
