Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Vineyard Merlot 2008
Early-maturing, scented with violets, dark cherries, plums and sweet cedar/vanilla oak over meaty notes of raisins and currants. ItÕs smooth and smoky, with some chocolatey oak sweetness and bright forward flavours of cherries and plums, but does thin out towards a slightly baked and dehydrated finish.

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.
