Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Dusty, herbal aromas of red and black berry fruits, slightly varnishy cedar/vanilla oak and a whiff of bell pepper precede a smooth and polished palate whose juicy expression of cassis, red berries, mulberries and dark cherries is underpinned by fine, firmish tannins. Initially a little angular, it takes time in the glass to reveal more fruit sweetness.

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.
