The Ben Riggs Wagon Train continues to roll on, and the quality is even on the improve. This new release is aimed at the $20 bottle market, and in order to establish the brand Ben over delivers big time. Totally opaque black purple colour with deep purple hue. The nose reflects the very typical Mr Riggs style with realms of ripe fruit characters emerging. Notes of violets, blackberry juice and blood plum deliver a pronounced fruit filled sniff. The palate delivers the explosive ‘fruit bomb’ flavour profile that has made the entire Mr Riggs stable of wines so eagerly sought after. Flavours of ripe blackberry, plum and black cherry are followed by black pepper. Velvet smooth tannins add to the super ‘joosy’ character of this wine.
