2007 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon

Matthew Jukes Top 100
There are always a few one-sniff-and-you’re-in wines in the 100 Best, and this year ‘07 Moss Wood didn’t even stop to say hello before lining up on the grid in the early days of assembling this 100. Several tastes later, it cemented its position forever because ‘07 is a very special vintage from this esteemed property. There is a nobility of flavour which underpins all of the expected grandeur and intensity of fruit, and the length and quality of tannins are a wonder to behold.

"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 and deservedly 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.
