Moss Wood 2020 Pinot Noir – Ray Jordan, WA Wine Review 2023
The small intense vintage of 2020 has suited this variety from Moss Wood. Marvellous opening on the nose with a mix of cherry and rhubarb flicked with a little spice and underpinned by deeper meaty characters.The palate retains that linear chalky acidity but wrapped around the spine is the seductively…

Moss Wood 2020 Chardonnay – Ray Jordan, WA Wine Review 2023
Everything about this wine points to it being one of the best chardonnays yet from Moss Wood. Opens with a creamy, nutty and slightly savoury aroma. It’s a nose that continues to reveal more each time you get into it. The palate though is the real feature.It has the power…

Moss Wood 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon – Ray Jordan, WA Wine Review 2023
Mighty hard to follow the remarkable 2018 cabernet for Moss Wood. The 2019 vintage was cooler and the resulting wines less opulent, yet they have emerged as elegant and graceful. And when you see a wine like this you start to appreciate that there is something about the Moss Wood…

Moss Wood 2021 Chardonnay – Casey Bryan, Travelling Corkscrew
What makes a great Chardonnay? Well it’s really down to personal opinion as what’s great for the person next to you, is not necessarily great for you. For me a great Chardonnay is complex. It’s bold and full bodied yet elegant. It has the right amount of oaky oomph that’s…

Moss Wood 2021 Chardonnay – Stuart Knox, The Real Review
A striking straw gold in the glass that shows aroma of buttery toast and ripe nectarines. A big wine, full of fruit weight and power with rich oak spice overtones throughout. Acidity keeps it all in check and it flows long to a spiced finish. A wine of richness and…

Moss Wood 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon – Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
Concentrated, silky and lingering, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is elegant and fine with salted licorice, ripe raspberry, dark chocolate and exotic spice. It’s a beautiful wine that continues the legacy of Moss Wood Cabernets, albeit with a slightly softer, more lilting voice. Age-worthy in the supreme. July, 2022Week 1, The…

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2021 Chardonnay – Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
The 2021 Ribbon Vale is the first release of a Chardonnay from the Ribbon Vale Vineyard. The Moss Wood house style (with regard to Chardonnay) is opulent, powerful, complex and toasty. This creamy, nutty wine certainly nods in that direction—it has plushness and intensity, but all of it couched in…

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2021 Elsa – Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
The 2021 Elsa Sauvignon Blanc has lovely concentration on the palate, which, as the oak ribbons out over the finish, leaves a Tina wafer character in the mouth. This is a very classy wine that will live gracefully for some years to come. July, 2022 Week 1, The Wine Advocate

Moss Wood 2021 Chardonnay – Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
If one may begin with the bottom line up top, I think that this is the very best Moss Wood Chardonnay I have seen for a very long time. This sits with the finest the region can offer. Indeed, I’d go further. Moss Wood has an enviable record for its…

Moss Wood 2020 Pinot Noir – Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
If the current Moss Wood Chardy is the best for many years, fair to say that this latest Pinot comes pretty close as well. A tiny crop, their lowest ever yield, seems to have been balanced by the quality on offer. Handpicked, destemmed, delivered to small, open fermenters with a…

Moss Wood 2022 Semillon – Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
2022 is a year that locals are raving about in Margaret River, but then there are people on this planet who have lived long and fulfilling lives and during that time, have never seen a dud vintage in the region. Their scale goes from very good to outstanding, it seems.…

Moss Mood Ribbon Vale 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon – Edward Agg, The Cellar Post
It’s a fine-boned, finely structured, Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon this year (2019) and yet for all the fineness it’s got some grunt about it. Nose – Quite powerful, escapes the glass easily. Cassis and blackberry, red currant freshness, spicy cedar, tobacco and leathery notes. Palate – Medium bodied…

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2018 Merlot – Edward Agg, The Cellar Post
Moss Wood Merlot 2018, good vintage for Margaret River by all accounts and evidenced on this showing. Rich and concentrated red and black fruits on the nose, dark cherry and raspberry, tobacco-like spice and coffee notes too balance the fruit nicely. Medium+ on the palate, great weight and texture here,…

Moss Wood 2020 Semillon – Edward Agg, The Cellar Post
Moss Wood Semillon 2020, a ballsy and rich release and I don’t mind that at all. The nose is loaded with tropical fruit, papaya and pineapple, but clean with a green apple and floral prettiness to it. The palate’s all about richness and intensity, it’s everywhere all at once, with…

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2019 Merlot – Edward Agg, The Cellar Post
Merlot is such an underrated variety. Just saying Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Merlot 2019. Nose – Bright, deep and dark, blackberry, plum, twiggy herbs, lavender et al with a mineral edge, graphite? (Is that even a smell?), pencils perhaps. It has a very adult vibe. None of the nonchalant ‘look…
