Moss Wood 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon – Aaron Brasher

Points: 97
Rating: Stars

Moss Wood sets the bar at the highest level when it comes to Australian cabernet sauvignon. This latest release continues a lineage of superb cabernet sauvignon that began in 1973. This is a wine that can undoubtedly be classed as an Australian ‘First Growth’ and deserves its place as one of Australia’s supreme exponents of the variety.

Youthful, bright red and dark in the glass. Complex aromas of blackberry, graphite, bramble, wet gravel, cedar, violets, dried herbs and dark cherry. Poised, fine and precise in flavour. Lively and textured, with a core of briary black fruits, grainy, chalky tannins, a touch of ferrous earth and punchy, snappy acidity. There’s lovely complexity, sophistication and class here.
