From the Moss Wood website: mosswood.com.au
Planted in 1969 Moss Wood is an important, founding estate of the Margaret River wine region, located in the northern sub–region of Wilyabrup, Western Australia. Clare & Keith Mugford, as winemakers, viticulturalists & proprietors, have been making wine & tending the vineyard at Moss Wood since 1984 & 1979, respectively. Their exacting viticulture ensures the production of grapes of excellent quality & they have created a stable of fine wines distinguished by their consistency over each vintage & their ability to age superbly.
Who is 'Amy' - In 1997, Clare and Keith negotiated a 3 year contract to buy the fruit from the “Glenmore Vineyard” owned by Amy Beers, the grandmother of Ian Bell who still owns and managered that vineyard.
Deep purple/red colour, bright and vibrant, the aromas likewise vibrant and fresh with attractive blue and red fruits and a high-note of violets. Plenty of detail. The wine is elegant but full-bodied in the mouth, with very good concentration of bright fruit and dried herb flavours, backed up by firm, stylish tannins. The overall impression is of power delivered with elegance. A superb vintage of this wine.

A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec and petit verdot. Deliciously intense red with juicy cassis, plum, blueberry flavours smothering spicy oak characters. Very approachable now but will become even more complex and interesting with bottle age.
