Moss Wood Amy’s Cabernet Blend 2012
Ripe, confiture-like aromas of blackberries, cassis, dark plums and a hint of cherry are backed by flat, dusty oaky notes. Its pleasing length of small berry flavour is framed by fine but firmish, drying tannins and backed by rather raw, assertive oak, finishing with minty nuances of dried herbs. Needs time to settle, but lacks the polish of older vintages.

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.
