NOTES
The Moss family began their Margaret River vineyard in 1984 with a lot of expertise on side. Senior Moss, Jeff, had been growing grapes his whole life and David Moss had worked at both Houghton and Moss Wood for a number of years in both the vineyards and wineries.
Peter Moss, engineer, made stainless steel tanks and winery equipment including whole wineries and boutique breweries. Jane Moss studied wine making and grape growing at Roseworthy Agricultural College, Australia's leading wine science university. David had concepts about wine styles, and, the vineyard was planted with these in mind. The original line-up was Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend, Chardonnay and the Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend.
TASTING NOTES
Garnet red in colour; a bouquet of black berries and violets combine with smoky, mocha oak aromas. This leads to a palate rich with black and red berry fruits. The fruit is balanced by earthy, smoky oak and a defined supple tannin structure. This is a full-bodied red with all the hallmarks of a Margaret River cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and cabernet franc blend.
REVIEWS
Typical Margaret River cabernet merlot blend, the two varieties working synergistically in medium- to full-bodied frame, cassis and blackcurrant seamlessly woven through fine tannins and good oak 94 points James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2010
