Log in / Sign up Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
One of Australia's icon wines, this is Cabernet at its very best. This wine is the very definition of power and elegance. Hand crafted by Keith Mugford and his team in the Margaret River, Moss Wood deservedly fits in the Exceptional category of Langton's Classification of Australian Wine.
Reveals nuances of cedar oak intertwined with honey-kissed red fruits, refreshing menthol, and hints of verdant tobacco. Its medium-bodied character is marked by a pronounced acidity, yet the tannins gather with a subtle, slightly textured grip, though the body may not fully match its structural prowess. Delightful notes of mint-infused red fruits dance alongside whispers of new leather, enveloped in a sweet honeyed essence that caresses both red and blue fruit profiles, culminating in a lingering finish of commendable length. This is a wine poised to age gracefully, evolving into a lusciously refined and sumptuous experience.
Beef and Venison
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.
