Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Here we have a real claret style – a highly pure and elegant Cabernet blend with a smattering of other Bordeaux varieties. It opens with bright and appealing aromas of red and black currant fruits with dried herbs in support all well integrated with high quality oak. It’s then mid-weight and poised yet with quite a sturdy structure backed by dark, gravelly flavours topped by a violet lift before delivering a long, sinewy finish. Impressive but needs a couple of years to settle.
