Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
"This was a very good vintage in Margaret River after the slightly more
challenging '21. This has the refined elegance and prettiness that is the
Moss Wood DNA. The colour is quite pale compared to some previous vintages,
but don't be fooled into thinking this is some shrinking violet. Violets,
yes, but plenty more in an engine room that is balanced and poised as the
tannins and almost lyrically laid oak harness the exquisitely bright fruit.
So well balanced. A wine of immense charm and appeal. I defy you to stop
after the first sip."

"Medium deep crimson. Attractive cassis, truffle, vanilla aromas with hints of mocha/ cedar. Inky deep with fresh blackcurrant vanilla, espresso flavours, fine grainy tannins and well-integrated vanilla/ marzipan notes. Finishes chalky and long with chinotto and aniseed notes. A classic Moss Wood vintage with lovely richness, definition and mineral length. Should last the distance. A lovely 50th anniversary wine. 94% cabernet sauvignon 4% cabernet franc 2% petit verdot."

"A deep maroon hue, there are notes of spices, herbs, black fruits, cloves, cassis, graphite, chocolate and tobacco leaves. A touch of biscuity oak, very well integrated, this is a wine of focus and intensity, and at all times it is immaculately balanced. Utterly seamless and seductive, there is a line of fine acidity running the full journey and the silkiest of tannins on the finish. This will easily sail through the next fifteen to twenty years, providing immense pleasure along the way. A superb Cabernet."

"It's a powerhouse Cabernet and classic Moss Wood in terms of intensity and regal carriage. Black fruit, dried cranberry, cedar, nutmeg, dried flower perfume, tobacco, and damp earth. It sweeps through the palate with grilled nuts, toast, fresh blackberry, a whole lot of sweet grainy tannin and black tea perfume, acidity is balanced and present, and the finish crackles, thunders and goes very long. Quite a wine. Outstanding."
