TASTING NOTES FOR Moss Wood Amy’s Margaret River Western Australia 2022
🍷 Appearance
Deep brick red with a dark, vibrant core. Bright and youthful, showing excellent colour intensity.
👃 Aromas
Lifted and expressive, bursting with blackberry, blueberry and blackcurrant, layered with cherry chocolate and subtle floral notes.
Hints of cedar, toasted oak and a touch of earth add classic Margaret River complexity.
👅 Palate
Medium to full-bodied with generous dark fruit—cassis, plum and berries—supported by a refined Bordeaux-style structure.
A blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot brings richness, balance and depth, while fresh acidity keeps everything vibrant and precise.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Silky yet structured, with fine, well-integrated tannins and subtle oak influence.
The finish is long and polished, with lingering dark fruit, cedar and a touch of spice.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Margaret River Cabernet blend—fruit-driven yet structured, combining approachability with serious pedigree.
Designed for earlier enjoyment but with enough depth and balance to reward short to medium-term cellaring.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, grilled steak, beef short ribs or slow-cooked dishes. Also excellent with hard cheeses and classic roast dinners.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A brilliant “second wine” from one of Margaret River’s elite producers—delivering serious Cabernet character at outstanding value.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want premium structure without the top-tier price—or a very smart straight dozen for lovers of classic Margaret River reds.
Cheers
