Wine of the Week NZ-Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon-Bob Campbell TheRealReview

Points: 95
Rating: 5 Stars

Hand-picked, destemmed and sorted before being put into open fermenters for hand-plunging three times a day. Spent 18 months in oak. Unfined with sterile filtration.

Cabernet sauvignon with 3% each of cabernet franc, merlot and malbec. Cabernet sauvignon varietal character shines through with cassis, black berry, cedar with a touch of mint and a hint of wood smoke. A tight, elegant wine, which promises to reveal even greater complexity with bottle age. (Screwcap)
