I love the 2021 vintage of this Margaret River standard bearer Cab. Made from 95% Cabernet Sauvignon (all Houghton Clone), 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot from 52-year-old vines, this is as pure, deep and ripe-fruited as any Moss Wood in years gone by and with only 16% new oak involved, the fruit enjoys the centre stage and why not? 2021 was a slightly cooler year in Margaret River, and this means alongside the gloriously upholstered fruit and hints of exoticism, the tannins are demure and refined and keep themselves occupied at the back end of the wine, only coming out for a quick wave at the crown on the finish! So, we have somewhat of a treat in 2021 – a Moss Wood that has all the grandeur of a great year and a wine that is drinking very well in its youth, too! For an example of a riper and richer vintage and a wine that costs a quarter of the price of my featured Titan, look no further than 2022 Moss Wood Amy’s.
