The Story

Moss Wood, located in the Willyabrup sub-district of Margaret River – can boast one of the choicest and most beautiful vineyard sites in Australia. The Cabernet Sauvignon – first vintage 1973 - is regarded as one of Australia’s great wines offering elegance, retrained power and site specific aromas and flavours. The wine is extremely perfumed and finely structured with cassis-blackcurrant aromas, hints of cedar and violet. Extended oak aging to 24 months – since 1996 – and the introduction of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot have made the wine deeper in colour, more aromatic and textured. The oak and fruit are very neatly balanced. The wine develops a touch of earth/demi-glace briar characters on the bouquet, and complexity and suppleness on the palate.

Written Notes

Magnum 201 of 250. Cassis, some mint, cedar, tobacco, cigars, detailed and nuanced nose, complex. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, anise, red fruits and spices, liquorice, detailed, quite intense and long, minty, tobacco finish, long. 93

Salted licorise, anise, hints of fennel and five spice.  All of this is plumped/supported/propelled/encouraged by succulent red fruit.  The texture is fine, silky… bouncy still.  Chewy.  Incredible length of flavour like a forge over the tongue.  Teetering on the brink of old and new… a seesaw of pleasure.
