New Release | 98 Points - Ray Jordan
Moss Wood's Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon has firmly entrenched itself as one of Australia's finest red wines. A wine with an extraordinary recent form line, the annual Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon release is always in high demand and we expect our limited stocks of the 2021 vintage to again sell out fast.
The 2021 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon is already attracting plenty of attention and high praise (98 Points - Ray Jordan). Another typically concentrated and complex Margaret River Cabernet; dark fruits, blackcurrant, blueberry and licorice flavours are all in abundant supply on the palate. Bright acidity and well measured oak combine beautifully on the long finish to round off another classic Moss Wood Cabernet release.
"98 Points. One of Australia’s great cabernets. This from a cooler season highlights and accentuates the typical bright red fruits and blue fruit mix, especially on the nose. It’s aromatic and perfumed with an African violet scent. The palate as always is so exquisitely balanced and refined. Since 1989 the cabernet has been augmented with the floral bright fruit of cabernet franc and the darker robust black fruits of petit verdot. The palate delivers with a gentle restraint yet there is power deep within. The chalky tannins define a long and focussed finish. A deceptive medium bodied wine that will cellar for many years. Cellar: 25 years. $174"- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au.
"Five Stars. Form is temporary, class is permanent! True in the sportling world and also in wine. Moss Wood Cabernet is one of the country’s greatest reds and highly trade-able at auctions (first vintage 1973). As a single vineyard wine, every vintage tells it’s own story but it’s always fascinating. Moss Wood Cabernet 2021 has effusive red fruit notes on the nose. At one level it’s ‘Modern Cabernet’ with bright, fruit flavours but also classic with leather and cigar notes layering in complexity. The resolved tannins are exceptional and make the wine very enjoyable at this stage though collectors know that 40 years is a very reasonable drinking window. A predictably excellent release from the maestros."- Fergal Gleeson, Great Wine Blog.
