Moss Wood 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon – Fergal Gleeson, Masters of Margaret River – Moss Wood
Now in it’s 40th vintage. This wine is considered one of Australia’s finest and can last for 40 years and more. The sweet blackcurrant nose was very promising. What I found remarkable for a wine built to last was just how good it tasted now. What a lovely balance of fruit and…

In limited supply, this wine comes from one of the most legendary Cabernet Sauvignon producing estates in the world. Amy’s is the ‘affordable’ face of Moss Wood and I drop to my knees in praise of its stunning blackcurrant and cigarbox flavours. Drink this instead of virtually any similarly priced…

Moss Wood 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon – Ralph Kyte-Powell – The Age and Sydney Morning Herald
Raw and ripe, this potent Margaret River cabernet has real potential. Blackcurrant, blackberry and spicy oak aromas are concentrated, and a hefty tannin backbone enhances gravitas. Ageing? Five to 25 years. Food idea:Char-grilled rump steak with Cafe de Paris butter. Score 94
