TASTING NOTES FOR Moss Wood Amy’s Cabernet Blend Margaret River Western Australia 2022
🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby to dark crimson. Bright and youthful with a vibrant core.
👃 Aromas
Lifted and expressive, showing blackcurrant, mulberry and blackberry.
Spice notes of white pepper and subtle cedar intertwine with hints of dried herbs, violet and earthy complexity.
👅 Palate
Medium to full-bodied and generous, delivering ripe dark fruits—blackberry, cassis and plum.
There’s excellent balance between juicy fruit and savoury elements, with notes of liquorice, spice and a touch of vanilla from oak maturation.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and supple with fine, structured tannins.
The finish is long and persistent, showing dark fruit, spice and a gentle earthy edge, with fresh acidity keeping it lively and approachable.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Margaret River Bordeaux-style blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot)—fruit-forward yet structured.
Designed for early enjoyment but with enough depth and balance to reward short to medium-term cellaring.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, grilled steaks, burgers or BBQ meats. Also excellent with pasta dishes and semi-hard cheeses.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously reliable Margaret River red—rich, balanced and very easy to enjoy.
Ticks all the boxes for a premium everyday Cabernet blend and a standout performer in mixed dozens.
Cheers
