2021 Moss Wood Amy’s

A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 7% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot matured in older French oak barriques for 18 months. Opaque dark red black tinged colour with a dark red hue. Nosing offers up lifted ripe red currant aromas followed by some mulberry, light cedary tobacco and bay leaf notes. Medium bodied red currant and red plum fruits carry good flesh across the palate with some delicate cedary tobacco and spicy dried herb characters sitting in the background. Polished tannin structure finishing with good freshness and a savoury mid length aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
It’s Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. No new oak. Seem to have missed the 2019 and 2020 vintages, but here we are! Red fruits, mulberry and cherry, hazelnut chocolate, mint nougat, and some biscuit spice. It’s supple and fleshy, quite the chocolate nuts flavour, juicy spiced poached strawberry, light grainy tannin, and a succulent and nutty finish of good length. There’s almost a sweet red apple flavour too. It’s at ease with itself now, and drinks very well. It has a high yum factor, shall we say? Drink 2022-2028.

Gary Walsh – The Wine Front

A 68/20/7/5% blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec and petit verdot. Given that the grapes for this wine have the Moss Wood brand and were estate grown, hand-picked and hand-sorted, the price of the wine is extraordinary. And it doesn't stop there. Once fermented in tank it's pressed to used French barriques for mlf, and racked to tank for blending, then returned to that oak for 18 months maturation. Its colour is bright, fresh crimson, the bouquet fragrant, and the palate is already complete and balanced. It's purpose-built for consumption over the next three or four years, but if for any reason it's left unopened for 10 years it will still be fresh. Drink by 2029.
