Description

The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate spent 24 months in 50% new French oak. There is a small quantity of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot included in the blend. Deep crimson-colored, it gives up an alluring perfume of pain grille, spice box, tar, black currant, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a harmonious, well-integrated wine reminiscent of a classified growth Saint-Julien from a good vintage. This elegantly rendered wine will develop in bottle for 8-10 years.

About this WINE

Moss Wood

Moss Wood

Moss Wood is one of one of Margaret River’s founding estates. It was established back in 1969  in Wilyabrup on the Western Coastand.  Since the late 1970s and early 1980s has been looked after by Keith and Clare Mugford whose care and devotion to the vineyard is reflected in the exceptional quality of their wines. 

Their Cabernet Sauvignon has become one of the most sought-after wines in Australia and their full range is recognised year on year for consistency of quality and longevity. Moss Wood also produces a beautiful old vine Semillon from vines planted in 1973.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon

The most famous red wine grape in the world and one of the most widely planted.

It is adaptable to a wide range of soils, although it performs particularly well on well-drained, low-fertile soils. It has small, dusty, black-blue berries with thick skins that produce deeply coloured, full-bodied wines with notable tannins. Its spiritual home is the Médoc and Graves regions of Bordeaux where it thrives on the well-drained gravel-rich soils producing tannic wines with piercing blackcurrant fruits that develop complex cedarwood and cigar box nuances when fully mature.

The grape is widely planted in California where Cabernet Sauvignon based wines are distinguished by their rich mixture of cassis, mint, eucalyptus and vanilla oak. It is planted across Australia and with particular success in Coonawarra where it is suited to the famed Terra Rossa soil. In Italy barrique aged Cabernet Sauvignon is a key component in Super Tuscans such as Tignanello and Sassicaia, either on its own or as part of a blend with Sangiovese.
