Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2000
I think it’s a positive move for the wine from this vineyard to be given a Moss Wood label, given it is identified the way it is. Light earthy, herbal regional influences permeate its ripe aromas of cassis, mulberries and small red berries, while a smoky bacon-like background of oak and leather offset its restrained palate of small berry flavours. It’s a brooding, rustic sleeper of a wine, and although I’d prefer less alcohol, it has polish and complexity.

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.
