No doubt many wine lovers have been eagerly awaiting this wine, one of the last of Margaret River’s big guns from the stunning 2023 vintage. This brilliant Cabernet saw all parcels harvested fermented separately in small open fermenters. Maturation was in French oak barriques, 15% new. The final blend included 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Deep maroon with a magenta edge, there is such power and finesse in this wine. Balance, length and structure are all world class. A take-me-now-Lord wine if ever there was one. The great 2023 vintage strikes again. Is this the best wine Moss Wood has ever made? It certainly must come very close.
The nose reveals aromas of cassis, mulberries, plums, charcuterie, cigar boxes and blackberries. The structure is seamless through to the silkiest of tannins. There is great length and persistence here and the balance is knife-edge. If you doubt me as to the brilliant quality of this wine, please see if you can find a wine from Bordeaux at this price which comes close to this quality. Then we’ll talk. This is just a cracker. Thirty years standing on its head.
The Wine List & Menu
Moss Wood Semillon 2024, Our Price $34
“This is a slightly fuller style than previously. Perhaps a product of the warmer vintage or an indication of a somewhat new direction for the variety. Regardless, it retains the essential linear mouthfeel and intensity of lemon zest and citrus. A crisp zingy acid sustains the long finish—an immediately appealing wine still with cellaring potential.”

Moss Wood’s 2025 Ribbon Vale Vintage Report:
“…the season was defined by consistency rather than extremes. Favourable spring conditions established solid yields, followed by a mild summer that allowed for steady, uninterrupted ripening. Rainfall was sufficient to support vine function without compromising concentration, and harvest timings were closely aligned with long-term averages. The wines show good balance and structure, in line with what we would expect from these conditions.”
Moss Wood Chardonnay 2024, Our Price $99
“One of Margaret River’s benchmark chardonnays, and this release from a warm vintage is exceptional. It's fine and delicately poised, yet with regional DNA driving it through to a powerful, sustained finish. Aromas of lemon meringue, brioche and light florals lead into a palate of chalky, savoury elements alongside vanillin and lemony notes. Fine, precise acidity lifts the flavours through to the long finish. An outstanding wine.”

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Merlot 2022, Our Price $71
Merlot of the Year, 2026 WA Wine Review
“A lot of work was put into rejuvenating this vineyard when Moss acquired it, and it has certainly paid off handsomely with merlot in particular. It’s now recognised as one of Australia’s consistently best. This is another cracker combining the suppleness of the fruit with power and poise. You are getting a serious red wine here with deeply concentrated fruit impelled through to a very long finish. Firm tannins give this structure.”

“… Wow. This is excellent, just sheer elegance.

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Our Price $71
Deep, bright youthful purple-red colour with a lovely cassis, mulberry nose of ideally ripened cabernet fruit. The wine is elegant and full-bodied, with richness and flesh, fruit sweetness at the core and plenty of supple, fine-grained, gently persuasive tannins that are perfectly integrated with the fruit. Delicious drinking right now, but surely has many years ahead of it.
97 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
“… For such a youthful cabernet, this is perfectly pitched and composed. A delight to drink now, so I did, all thanks to the neat combo of cassis, mulberries, fresh herbs and oak spices. Nothing out of place. The medium-weighted palate reveals its elegance thanks to fine tannins and a level of detail we come to expect from this producer, and thus not disappointing.”

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Our Price $144
“One of Australia’s great cabernets... A deceptive medium bodied wine that will cellar for many years.”
97 Points, Ray Jordan
“The Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon is always one of Margaret River’s best and this latest release is no exception... An elegant style, there is good energy here, with serious focus and an immaculate balance, as well as a lovely lingering finish. The palate sees more chocolate and cherry notes emerging. Silky tannins and very good length. Drink over the next ten to twenty years.”

Angus a la minute, sambal butter, leafy greens
Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, Our Price $242
“The latest Moss Wood captures this vintage perfectly and is without doubt one of the more restrained and tightly framed Moss Woods of recent years. … it retains the elegance, perfume and soft approachability that is Moss Wood. And hidden within is a wine that I suspect will still be drinking beautifully in 30 years.”

“A stunning wine in the making. It’s all about potential. Must cellar for best results.”

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Our Price $242
“A powerful, full-bodied cabernet that still manages to achieve finesse thanks to the perfect balance of fruit, oak and tannins. An autocratic portrait of cabernet, and of photographic reality.”

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2001, Our Price $294
Keith and Clare have long believed … till the 2018 … that this was their greatest Cabernet Sauvignon … and most locked on long term Moss Wood zealots, myself included, agree. And now this 2023 comes along … JJ
“Spotlessly clean, this is a gorgeous, silky wine flooded with redcurrant, cassis and blackcurrant fruit in a web of fine tannins. Elegance personified, the screwcap guaranteeing a very long life.”
