Moss Wood Wilyabrup Pinot Noir 2008

While itÕs not stamped with powerful varietal influences, this is a soft, generous red with deep, appealing flavour and some style. Its spicy, assertive oaky and pungent bouquet of red cherries, plums and meaty undertones reveals a herbal, tomato stalk-like aspect. ItÕs both sumptuous and elegant, fullish in body and weight, with a juicy roundness of fruit underpinned by velvety tannins, finishing with length and finesse.

Winery

Moss Wood
Moss Wood occupies a special place in Australian wine. One of the founding vineyards of the Margaret River region, it was the first to establish iconic status, where it was quickly joined by Cullen and Vasse Felix. After some years in which the winemaking and viticulture appear to have lost focus, there are indeed signs of a possible return to Moss Wood's historically expected form. The 2013 Amy's Cabernet Sauvignon has more polish and finesse than several preceding vintages, while the currently available whites from Bordeaux varieties are right on cue.
