96 Points - Ray Jordan
Moss Wood have an internationally recognised reputation for producing some of the finest examples of Cabernet outside of Bordeaux. Since the Mugford’s purchased the Ribbon Vale Vineyard back in 2000, they have been working tirelessly in the vineyard and in the winery to produce the best Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot they could from this site.
The 2022 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon is another masterful Margaret River blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec this is full-bodied and complex, with redcurrant and mulberry fruit flavours running the full length of the palate and the finish has toasty oak and firm but balance tannins.
"96 Points. This is one of the best cabernets yet released from this vineyard. It’s a gracefully presented wine of elegance and poise from the fine chalky tannins through to the energised finish. Blackcurrant and savoury plum notes with a light bay leaf and black olive nuance. The palate is so tightly knit with the fine tannins and fine-grained oak harmonised and defined. Cellar: 20 years. $93"- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au.
