Moss Wood Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

The Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon is always one of Margaret River’s best and this latest release is no exception. From the sub-region of Wilyabrup, the blend is 95% Cabernet, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Not the easiest vintage in the region, the team overcame any and all obstacles. Maturation was in 228 litre French oak barrels, 16% of which were new. Deep garnet, this is an immaculate and classic Margaret River Cabernet. Aromas weave through florals, cassis, soy, aniseed, black fruits, beef stock and graphite. An elegant style, with good energy, serious focus and an immaculate balance, as well as a lovely lingering finish which sees more chocolate and cherry notes emerging. With silky tannins and very good length, drink over the next ten to twenty years.
