Moss Wood 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon – Ray Jordan, “Heavenly Cabernet” The Weekend Australian Magazine

Points: 99
Rating: Stars

. . . the latest Moss Wood 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is as close as can be to the greatest yet in this distinguished line. From the first sniff to the last lick of the lips you will be captivated by its engaging expression of cabernet. Vibrancy, purity and energy burst from the perfectly formed palate.
A stunning Moss Wood that captures the elements of this vintage perfectly. It’s a lighter vintage and so beautifully elegant. Perfumed violets and blackcurrant on the nose. The palate is more towards medium bodied but there is power and intensity here as it extends effortlessly to a  very long finish. Shows why this small estate is one of Australia’s greatest.

(Best drinking now to 2044)
