Generally one of the best Cabernets in Margaret River and therefore Australia. Very dark Ruby in colour. Cassis and blackberry, ripe and rich. I would never pick this as Margaret River in a blind tasting. Where are the herbal notes? But still recognisable as a quality Cabernet. The 2009 Moss Wood was given a poor score of only 84 points by Huon Hooke who is one of Australia’s leading wine scribes. He said “over ripe fruit is the problem “. I have always rated Huon’s reviews and have been a long time subscriber to his website and always will be but I don’t believe he got this right. On 4th July 2012 he said “I can’t see this ageing well” and gave a drinking window of 2012 to 2018. Well tonight at 15 years of age it is drinking very well. James Halliday gave the wine 95 points. — 6 months ago
Excellent, with cola, dark fruits and some spice. Nice silky finish. Just got to think this would have been a bit better at 5 years vs 7. Got to drink my stash up. — 2 months ago

Heavy on the cherry / red fruit flavour — and that’s not a bad thing at all — 5 months ago

Enjoying a Pinot from one of my favorite wineries, at least when it was owned by Merry Edward’s. Finished the last bottle from 2007, from a case I purchased at the winery. Just a lovely Pinot with cherry and dark fruit with good acidity — a year ago
