Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Rather dull, simple and herbal, with a lifeless, cola-like bouquet of light red berry aromas backed by suggestions of leather and older, cedary oak. Lean and lacking genuine depth of fruit, its initially confectionery expression of flavour becomes more skinny and hollow as it moves towards a varnishy, disjointed finish. Not exactly what you would expect from one of AustraliaÕs most prestigious makers of cabernet.

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.
