Moss Wood 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
Product Information
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Colour and condition – deep brick red hue, in bright condition
Nose – very typical Cabernet Sauvignon fruit aromas. Red currant, mulberry, dark chocolate combine with a background of charry oak, cigar box and spice. It is worth noting the wine’s concentration is such that it can take several minutes to unfold. We recommend allowing it to breathe.
Palate – the immediate impression is one of full-bodied, mouth-filling red and blue fruit flavours, giving a luxurious feel. Although the phenolics are firm they are more than balanced by the juicy concentration, so texture is smooth. Length and pe
Cellaring – this is a very attractive and drinkable vintage and it will certainly provide enjoyable early drinking. We strongly recommend that those who have the opportunity to cellar the wine should do so. It will take at least 10 years to develop some bottle age characters and will probably reach its peak somewhere around 20 years old. However, it should continue to be drinkable up to 30 years old, at least and especially for those bottles under screw cap. resistence of the flavours are enhanced by charry oak notes that leave gentle, slightly bituminous tannins on the finish.
