The 2023/24 season was warm, dry and early - the warmest growing season in Margaret River since 2007. Conditions remained warm and dry from spring through to harvest, setting the scene for small crops and excellent ripeness. For many, it brought back memories of the mid- nineties, in particular 1995, when similar years produced wines of richness and structure.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, this wine displays a deep, dark colour with subtle crimson hues. The nose is ripe with blackcurrant and plummy characters, complemented by a lifted aromatic perfume. On the palate, deep, succulent dark fruit flavours are supported by fine, firm tannins, providing excellent structure. The oak is well-integrated, enhancing the wine without overpowering it. Moss Wood Amy’s 2024 is ideal for medium-term drinking, allowing the prominent primary fruit characters to shine. - 95 points, Ray Jordan
