2004 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon

96 Points - Ray Jordan, The West Australian

“The newly released Moss Wood cabernet sauvignon 2004 is one of the bigger and more robust Moss Wood cabernets, largely as a result of a very warm period during vintage. The hallmark elegance and supple generosity are still there. Palate is seamless and perfectly balanced with expertly woven oak. You will easily get 20-plus years out of this wine. 5 Stars - Ralph Kyte-Powell, Epicure Uncorked The aristocratic cabernet sauvignon has long been one of Australia's most collectable reds. The '04 continues the pedigree with great purity of cassis-like varietal character, integrated quality oak and a fleshy, multi-layered palate of sustained flavour and balance, underpinned by fine ripe tannins. Classy.”

95 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion

“Classic, austere regional/varietal expression; curiously, the grip is more evident on entry than on the finish and aftertaste, thanks to superfine tannins. 14.5º alc. Drink Now - 2025. Philip Rich -Australian Financial Review, Top 20 Wines of 2007 Cabernet was first planted at Moss Wood in 1970 and, despite its proximity to Cullen (the other Margaret River cabernet in this year's top 20), the style at Moss Wood is towards a slightly riper and softer wine whose sheer drinkability as a young wine often masks the fact that they age well too. The 2004 certainly fits into this category and, despite the 14.5% alcohol, this comes across as being ripe with out being overdone, with its aromas of dark berry fruit, earthiness, cedar and cigar box, together with a little dark chocolate. On the palate, this already opulent, textured and delicious wine will reward even another 10 years cellaring.”
