Description
Red Wine by Moss Wood from Margaret River, Australia. Initially there is a real impact of bright, fresh fruit aromas, dominated by the black fruits like blackberry and cherry, something normally associated with Cabernet Franc, plus, of course, blueberry, red currant, and the perfumed notes of violets. There are soft oak notes in the background that combine with some tobacco and tarry notes that Cabernet Sauvignon builds with long term barrel age. This theme of lively fruit notes continues on the palate, where the generosity of the red and black fruit provides fleshy mouthfeel. This layer of red currant and blackberry flavours balances what is for Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon, quite a firm structure, with bright acidity and firm tannin. On the finish, there is just a suggestion of toasty oak, tar, and leather, giving the wine good length and persistence.
