In the 94-95 Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide, Huon Hooke and Mark Shield picked the 1993 Moss Wood Semillon as one of the eight Picks of the Bunch.

They commented: Here’s one to raise the eyebrows – a wonderful wine from the West that shows great varietal definition. Delicious lemony and faintly straw-grassy flavours in a fresh, fruity style that drinks well young and has less of the trademark Margaret River herbaceousness than most of its peers.
