      The 2023 Amy's Cabernet Blend offers outstanding value and shows plenty of promise. This blend consists of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 6% Malbec, and 6% Petit Verdot. The nose bursts with bright aromas of cherry chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, marshmallow, and rose, underpinned by tarry cedar and toasted oak notes. These elements are elevated on the palate, supported by a firm tannin structure. The gentle but persistent acidity harmonises well with the fine texture derived from French oak, creating a balanced and elegant wine.

      The fruit was hand-picked and carefully sorted at the winery before being destemmed. The must was pumped into stainless steel fermenters and inoculated for primary fermentation. During this process, pump-overs were conducted three times per day to enhance colour and flavour extraction. After fermentation, the wine was pressed and transferred to 228L French oak barriques, none of which were new, for aging.

      The fruit was hand-picked and delivered to the winery, where it was hand-sorted and destemmed. The must was then pumped into stainless steel closed fermenters and inoculated for primary fermentation. During primary fermentation, pump-overs were conducted 3 times per day to enhance colour and flavour extraction. Once primary fermentation was complete the wine was pressed and then transferred to 228L French Oak Barriques, none of which were new.

      This is a blend if cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot, malbec and merlot. In a good year like this one, it offers some of the best value classy red wine going around. This is as good as any in this line. Plush red fruit of tremendous intensity. A firm core of tannin and oak holds it firm as the succulent fruit washes through. Such energy and vibrancy.

      Moss Wood

      Established in 1969, Moss Wood is one of the founding estates of the Margaret River wine region, located in the northern sub-region of Wilyabrup, Western Australia. Clare and Keith Mugford have been at the helm as winemakers, viticulturists, and proprietors since 1984 and 1979, respectively. Their dedication to viticulture ensures that Moss Wood produces exceptional grapes, resulting in consistently high-quality wines that age superbly. Moss Wood’s Cabernet Sauvignon has been ranked in the Langton’s ‘Exceptional’ category since 1991, and the estate’s other varietals—such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Semillon—have also received acclaim for their quality and longevity.

      The Moss Wood approach is deeply rooted in the belief that quality is determined in the vineyard. Their viticultural techniques are constantly reassessed and informed by ongoing research, resulting in continuous improvements in trellising, soil conservation, and pruning practices. Located in one of the most isolated and pristine grape-growing regions globally, Moss Wood is part of the Margaret River wine region, which is particularly celebrated for its Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.

      Moss Wood believes that wine quality is determined in the vineyard and viticultural techniques are constantly reassessed and informed by current research, both of others and our own. This has seen trials and improvements in trellising systems, soil conservation practices and pruning practices. The Moss Wood and Ribbon Vale Vineyards are located in the Wilyabrup sub-region, the heart of the Margaret River wine region. At 115° 18’ east longitude and approximately three hours drive south of Perth, Western Australia’s capital city, Margaret River is recognised as one of the world’s great wine producing regions garnering international acclaim for Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon in particular. The margaret river site is inspired by the scientific work of Dr John Gladstones who identified the value of the maritime climate for the production of high quality wine and is one of the most isolated and pure grape growing regions in the world, sitting immediately besides the pristine Indian Ocean.

      Tasting notes

      Nose
      Cherry Chocolate, Blackberry, Rose

      Bright aromas of cherry chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, marshmallows and rose, with underlying notes of cedar and toasted oak.

      Palate
      Plush Red Fruits, Blueberries, Cocoa

      Carrying over from the nose the blueberries and red currants are immediately apparent. The firm tannin structure is accented nicely by the generosity contributed by the medium-full body of the mid-palate.

      Finish
      Vibrant, Succulent, Toasty Oak

      The acidity has a gentle linearity which pairs nicely with the texture derived from the French Oak.
