Very impressive Cabernet - both in terms of concentration and complexity. Layers of dark berry flavours with spice/anise, cedar and vanilla. The texture is rich and mouth-filling. Sweet ripe tannins add structure and no doubt promote longevity without forming a barrier to flavour even at a young stage.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon has an enticing nose of mulberries, black-plum preserves, cassis and blueberries with an undercurrent of violets, cedar and menthol. Medium-bodied and demonstrating great finesse, even at this youthful stage, the expressively perfumed, black-fruit flavors are nicely framed by firm, ripe tannins and refreshing acid. It finishes with incredible length. Drink it 2015 to 2025+.

Moss Wood at its best, everything in its right place, perfectly balanced, and speaking of the vineyard, the vintage, the variety and the winemaker with equal conviction. Full purple-crimson; supple blackcurrant fruit is cosseted by superfine, but persistent, tannins and high quality French oak. Drink to 2041.
