2011 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River, Western Australia
Youthful deep crimson colour. Powerful nose of black fruits and spice with notes of chocolate and cedar. The palate is ripe and full, with sweet fruit on the mid palate and full and fine tannins framing the finish. The ripe fruit make it attractive now, but it will peak between 2020 and 2030.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
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+.

Vinous
Inky ruby. Sexy dark berry and candied cherry scents are given depth by suave oak spice, vanilla and fruitcake nuances. Sweet cassis and blackberry flavors show excellent clarity, along with suggestions of anise and mocha. Gains sweetness with air, taking on floral pastille and vanilla qualities that carry through a long, clinging, lightly tannic finish.
