Overview
The 2015 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Margaret River benchmark, renowned for its depth, precision, and longevity. Produced from the estateâs historic Wilyabrup vineyard, this vintage captures the hallmark Moss Wood style â powerful yet balanced, structured yet refined. The excellent 2015 growing season delivered fruit of exceptional concentration and clarity, resulting in a Cabernet Sauvignon of impressive pedigree.
Vineyard and Winemaking
Fruit was sourced exclusively from the Moss Wood estate vineyard in Wilyabrup, where gravelly loam soils and a maritime climate provide ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. Following fermentation, the wine matured in French oak barrels for an extended period to build complexity and structural harmony while maintaining varietal purity.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour. The bouquet reveals blackcurrant, cassis, and dark plum layered with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite, and subtle spice. The palate is full-bodied and structured, offering concentrated dark fruit supported by firm yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, poised, and deeply savoury, reflecting both site and vintage character.
Style and Character
The 2015 vintage highlights Moss Woodâs signature balance between power and elegance. It is a Cabernet Sauvignon of classical structure and remarkable ageing potential, showcasing the enduring reputation of Margaret River as one of the worldâs great Cabernet regions.
Cellaring and Pairing
Approachable now with extended decanting, yet capable of evolving gracefully for 20â30 years. Ideal with roast lamb, rib-eye steak, game meats, or aged cheeses that complement its depth and structure.
