Moss Wood Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Unusually closed, herbal and lacking its typical brightness and intensity. Its meaty, slightly resiny and gamey aromas of cassis, blueberries, dark plums and assertive cedar/chocolate/vanilla oak with dusty undertones reveal a hint of dark olives. It’s long and measured, with a subdued expression of cassis, mulberries, briar and blueberry flavours knit with smooth, polished and assertive pine needle-like oak and supported by gravelly tannins. As it ages it has developed some cigarboxy complexity but its fruit appears both stewy and green-edged,

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.
