"Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the blue blood classics of Australia. Regardless of the vintage conditions, they are a pleasure to drink at almost any stage of their development." James Halliday
Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon is one of Australia's iconic wines anddeservedly fits in the Exceptional category of Langton's Classification of Australian Wine. Handcrafted by Keith & Clare Mugford and their team, the wine is the very definition of power and elegance. Moss Wood is located in the Wilyabrup sub-region in the heart of Margaret River and the Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the estate vineyard first planted in 1969 with the famed Houghton clone.

19/20 Points, Andrew Graham, Australian Wine Review
Ranked #2 of 38 2005 Cabernet Sauvignons from Margaret River
Deepish red colour with a trace of brick on the rim. The bouquet is smoky, savoury and oak-kissed, with a nutty mellowness and an almost pruney tinge. Very powerful, rich, full-bodied and fleshy, with high extract giving terrific textural richness. Long, warming and deeply satisfying.

97 Points - Andrew Graham, Australian Wine Review
“This is the second time this wine has been tasted, and it again lives up to the hype. Do not drink now—it is still very primary, fruit-sweet and youthful. It will live for another 20 years, especially resplendent under screwcap. A classic warm-year Moss Wood: decadently rich, curranty and plush, yet moreish, with excellent line and length. A keeper.”
