2019 Mosswood Cabernet Sauvignon

Youthful, dense ruby hue; bright condition.

This is one of the more ethereal Cabernet Sauvignons have released. It combines both freshness, with the attendant perfumes of raspberries, roses and violets, and ripeness, featuring classic blueberry and red currant aromas, all courtesy of the terrific growing season. Behind these are the typical varietal complexities produced by long term barrel age including tar, wax, cedar, chocolate, mixed spices and tobacco. They all combine to give a volume seen only in the great years.

We enthusiastically recommend this wine for cellaring. It has the concentration and complexity to age gracefully for decades. It should be kept for at least 10 years and by which time it will be showing some of its complex bottle bouquet and the structure will be starting to soften. However, full maturity is unlikely to be reached before 25 years of age and it should last for several decades beyond that.
