Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
A generous and firmly structured cabernet whose elegance and harmony represent a step forward for the wines of this vineyard. Its ripe aromas of cherries, cassis, redcurrants and plums are backed by sweet mocha/vanilla oak and currant-like nuances. Long and supple, but overlying a fine-grained structure of genuine strength, its soft and vibrant expression of cassis, plums and blueberries is tightly woven with creamy, vanilla/chocolate oak.

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.
