Moss Wood 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon – Marc Malouf, Wine Worth Writing About
Deep ruby red with a purple hue and finely layered nose of riper red berries, blueberry, a hint of dried fig, bayleaf, lemon rind, cocoa, gentle sweet spice, marshmallow root and cedar. Calm and understated.
In the mouth it’s an elegant and linear expression with a focus on fruit purity and precision that comes with a cool vintage. Flavours of sweet and crunchy red berries, mulberry, plum, a hint of blackberry and moments of roasted fennel drive with good intensity and are backed by sweet spice and bright acidity. Supple tannins hold throughout the midpalate to a reaching tail ending with a good chew of tension and hums notes of cherry and red apple. It’s missing some depth and savoury complexity, but rest assured it’s a classy well made wine that makes up for it with its finesse and delicacy. You can hold on this one for decades to come.
