Rating: 4 Stars

High end Pinot Noir is a unicorn in Margaret River.
However Moss Wood‘s founders the Pannells were Burgundy buffs and planted Pinot Noir vines way back in 1973.
This wine has a loyal following amongst Moss Wood drinkers and holds its own against Pinot from Tasmania and Victoria.
Hail storms in Spring led to a record low yield for the 2020 vintage. Down a whopping 50% from average yields .
The low yields have contributed to a density of flavour and this wine hits all the right varietal notes of red and black cherries, raspberry, spices and fine tannins.
No stemmy or sour flavours here Moss Wood deliver a classy and rounded Pinot Noir that’s easy to enjoy.
