Moss Wood Amy’s Cabernet Blend 2011
With its fruit well into the baked spectrum of currants and prunes, this dense and rather astringent cabernet has a slightly varnishy bouquet of blackberries, cassis and briar backed by suggestions of prunes and mocha. Deeply flavoured and dark-fruited, itÕs chunky and awkward, drying out to a finish that lacks its customary elegance and freshness.

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.
