This wine is from a good vintage for Margaret River and red wine in particular.
his wine with an intense, deep ruby colour, has strong rich, ripe berry fruits of blackcurrant and blackberry, and great oak.
The wine has a freshness and intensity. The palate is rich with fruit generosity and complementary tannins and oak finish. This wine has depth and structure that will age for many years and will go the distance with your favourite cut of steak; and has the elegance to accompany a rich confit of duck or mushroom risotto.
Value locally, not least on a world stage, is questionable this vintage, though its lightness does make for a compelling point of difference. Gary Walsh - Wine Front
A medium bodied wine of classic styling with bright red fruits, top quality cedar oak and a pretty perfume.
Its clean and fresh with fine grained ripe tannin deceptively light, but not without length or impact.
2008 is right up with the best of our Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Moss Wood
This shows a classic snapshot of what the 2008 vintage was all about. Of course, the aroma contains the typical Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon characters of mulberry and red currant but these are given significant lift by pretty notes that can be traced back to the early Autumn. Cabernets rose-like and pomegranate scents are not often retained but in this wine they help the nose fill the glass. In the background the wine still retains the typical dark chocolate, earth and leatherlike complexities, as well as spicy, toasty oak.
Perhaps the observation could be made this displays the warmer, early phase of the season. A classic Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon, with fully ripened fruit flavours of mulberry and raspberry, that are long and generous. These sit over good acidity and wellbalanced, fine-grained tannin, giving a seamless feel. The finish is a combination of oak flavours and tannin that extend the length.
