Abundance by Ben Riggs Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
About the wine
Suave and sophisticated - the James Bond of Cabernet.
- Ben chose top notch vineyards in Willunga and McLaren Vale for this his debut Naked Cabernet. These areas have been flying under the radar for prime Cabernet - not now!
- This sophisticated red is an irresistable, full-bodied, aromatic delight. Black cherry and plum wrapped up in a rich, inky purple colour and a presence that goes on for miles.
- It's a dark horse wine that showcases the strength, quality and diversity that McLaren Vale has at a very friendly price. Enjoy it now or put it away for up to 10 years - it’s ready when you are!
Best before
The 2020 Abundance Cabernet is a wine that shows great versatility in bottle age. It can be enjoyed now, while young, fresh and juicy, but can also be cellared for around 5-10 years for the fans of an aged Cabernet where the wine becomes softer and the flavours become more refined and complex.
This all depends on the individuals preference and patience levels of course.
Serving advice
This wine is suitable to open and drink straight away. However, decanting or letting it sit for 30 minutes will definitely be beneficial if you have the time (or patience).
Food match
Red meats on the BBQ or in a roast are a great accompaniment to this Mclaren Vale Cabernet. Or for our vegetarian and vegan Angels, try this wine with an eggplant parmigiana or roast vegetables.
