TASTING NOTES FOR Moss Wood Amy’s Cabernet Blend Margaret River Western Australia 2024
π· Appearance
Deep dark crimson with vibrant ruby hues, rich and youthful in the glass.
π Aromas
Lifted and perfumed, showing blackcurrant, blackberry and ripe plum with hints of blueberry, violets and red liquorice. Layers of cedar, dark chocolate and subtle tobacco notes add complexity and classic Margaret River Cabernet blend character.
π
Palate
Medium to full-bodied with generous dark berry fruits, cassis and plum flowing through the palate. The blend shows excellent balance between vibrant fruit purity, savoury complexity and finely integrated oak, with Cabernet Sauvignon driving the structure and elegance.
π Texture & Finish
Silky tannins provide structure and length while maintaining impressive softness and approachability. The finish is long, polished and persistent with lingering black fruits, cedar, spice and subtle earthy notes.
π Overall Style
A beautifully balanced Margaret River Cabernet blend combining richness, freshness and elegance. Fruit-forward and approachable in its youth while still offering the structure and refinement to reward medium-term cellaring.
π½οΈ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, premium beef, chargrilled steaks, slow-cooked dishes and aged hard cheeses. Also excellent alongside mushroom dishes and hearty winter meals.
π· BBD Verdict
A polished and highly drinkable Margaret River Cabernet blend delivering vibrant fruit, silky tannins and excellent balance. Stylish, generous and packed with flavour, this is another superb release from Moss Wood that comfortably overdelivers for quality and value.
Cheers
