"One of Australia’s great cabernets. This from a cooler season highlights and accentuates the typical bright red fruits and blue fruit mix, especially on the nose. It’s aromatic and perfumed with an African violet scent. The palate as always is so exquisitely balanced and refined. Since 1989 the cabernet has been augmented with the floral bright fruit of cabernet franc and the darker robust black fruits of petit verdot. The palate delivers with a gentle restraint yet there is power deep within. The chalky tannins define a long and focussed finish. A deceptive medium bodied wine that will cellar for many years." - Ray Jordan

 

"Form is temporary, class is permanent! True in the sportling world and also in wine. Moss Wood Cabernet is one of the country’s greatest reds and highly trade-able at auctions (first vintage 1973). As a single vineyard wine, every vintage tells it’s own story but it’s always fascinating.

 Moss Wood Cabernet 2021 has effusive red fruit notes on the nose. At one level it’s ‘Modern Cabernet’ with bright, fruit flavours but also classic with leather and cigar notes layering in complexity. The resolved tannins are exceptional and make the wine very enjoyable at this stage though collectors know that 40 years is a very reasonable drinking window.
A predictably excellent release from the maestros." - Fergal Gleeson

 

"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." - Marc Malouf

 

"An intense array of primary fruit notes, including blueberries, raspberries, red currant, mulberry, plum and musk, as well as a touch of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove spices. Cabernet Sauvignon’s classic floral note of violets adds volume. The complexities in the background include cedar, tobacco and tar, the “cigar box” combination, plus some light toasty oak.

The theme of the red and dark fruits continues, with black currant, cherry, blueberry, mulberry and dark jube flavours filling the mouth. They sit over a medium to full body, with bright acidity and soft, well integrated, svelte, almost chocolate-like, tannin. The wine is long and finishes with cedar and toasty oak, with perhaps a touch of star anise." - Moss Wood
