Log in / Sign up Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Moss Wood is one of the Margaret River ‘originals’ (planted 1969; first vintage 1973) and this iconic flagship wine – Langton’s Classified since 1990 – has long been Western Australia’s leading Cabernet Sauvignon.
Moss Wood is one of Australia’s masters of Cabernet Sauvignon. The Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon was their best yet. 2019 backs it up and delivers on expectations emphatically in this cool vintage edition. Freshness abounds! Blackcurrant, tobacco flavours, and high-quality tannins come through vividly. It’s important to note that though Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine in the stable Moss Wood doesn’t think about Ribbon Vale Cabernet as a ‘second wine’. It comes from a different vineyard, and has a slightly different blend of varieties- Merlot and Cab Franc- but receives similar winemaking techniques. At $65 retail it’s excellent value for the quality. The premier wine from the Ribbon Vale property. Fruit flavours of berries and earthy notes - full body - firm tannins and soft oak.

Roasted leg of lamb
Deep brick red hue; bright condition. This has “smouldering” Cabernet Sauvignon notes in the classic claret style - redcurrant, mulberry, and lots of cigar box, cedar, and tar.
The wine is full-bodied and complex, with redcurrant and mulberry fruit flavours running the full length of the palate and the finish has toasty oak and firm but balanced tannins.
