Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2012
The Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Merlot is an inviting wine, beautiful and rich, with a great elegance about it. From an excellent producer comes an excellent wine!
Winemaker Notes
Varietal:
59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc
Colour and condition:
Very deep brick red, in bright condition.
Nose:
A good example of the generous ripe fruits of the 2013 vintage, with a powerful and lifted combination of dark fruits like mulberry, red currant and blueberry. There are also the typical Ribbon Vale leather and earth notes, plus additional complexity from sealing wax and camphor. Oak characters are very restrained and give a light tarry background.
Palate:
Full bodied with ripe fruit flavours of mulberry and black currant, giving a generous front and mid palate. There are long flavours which fit neatly with firm but ripened tannins, giving smooth texture and then finishing with spicy and charry oak flavours.
