Moss Wood Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Long, measured and superbly focused. Lifted by scents of violets and cherry liqueur, its minty bouquet of violets, cassis, mulberries and dark plums knits tightly with aromatic, fine-grained oak and has a wild, earthy aspect. Underpinned by fine, crunchy tannins of genuine firmness, it presents an alluringly deep, dark presence of cabernet fruit smoothed out by polished oak and backed by gamey, menthol-like nuances, finishing with persistent flavours, fresh acids and faintly minty, herbal notes. Just a fraction confectionary for an even higher score.

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.
