A bright, fragrant and aloof style of cabernet sauvignon that has plenty of lively and vibrant fruit in the mix, behind cedary oak and a gentle layer of leaves and brick dust. The fruit is in the Wilyabrup spectrum of red berries and cassis. The palate has smooth, fabric-like tannins on offer with an evenly formed, graceful and slow-building ascent through to the finish. Very nicely framed up, well balanced and a gently fleshy release through the finish. Drink in 2019.

Deep red colour with a purple tint. Quiet bouquet with lots of savoury oak-derived scents, with a little black olive and roast meat overtone. It's rich and fleshy, deep and full-bodied, with lashings of fleshy smooth tannins and high extract. This is a rich, savoury wine which has developed some secondary characters already, and displays excellent density, flesh, concentration as well as softness. Lots of tannins, but they're remarkably soft. It's a classic Moss Wood. A cabernet with great potential
