Moss Wood

Moss Wood Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Bob McDonald
9.6

Margaret River herbaceousness and mint but richer in this excellent vintage with plum and mulberry. This wine is 20 years young and will cellar for another 10 years without a problem. 14% ABV. First planted in 1969. Un-irrigated, Scott Henry trellis. One of the great Moss Woods - up there with 2001. If the Barolo I had yesterday was one of the best reds so far in 2025 this was only a point behind it. — 10 hours ago

@Doug Powers Doug, Moss Wood was founded by Dr Bill Pannell and his wife in 1969 but in 1985 ownership went to Keith Mugford and his wife. The winery is still under the ownership of the Mugfords. The Pannells had a son, Stephen who is a very successful winemaker in his own right.

Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2010

Bob McDonald
8.9

Trophy Best Red Blend Qantas Wine Show of WA 2014 Trophy Best Older Red. 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot; 4% Petit Verdot. Leafy and savoury more than fruit driven. The second night - didn’t age well overnight. More astringent and bitter than the previous night. Lacks mid palate fruit ripeness. — 2 days ago

Filius Margaret River Chardonnay 2023

Jakub Kalinowski
8.9

If you think all Aussie Chardonnay is big, rich & buttery, try this antidote.
Fresh, crisp with crunchy green apple & green papaya. Some underripe apricots, too.
On the palate this is juicy, fresh with vibrant acidity. Quite light on alc (12.5%) and light on the exotic fruit.
Would not call it Burgundian but it’s highly drinkable and surprisingly nice. — 12 days ago

Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay 2013

Bob McDonald
9.5

A pale lemon yellow in colour - quite youthful looking for a 12 year old Chardonnay. Aromatics of white peach - mealy and nutty notes, still with a nice acid cut at the finish. Drinking at its peak. Fuller than some Marg River Chardonnays I’ve had lately like Xanadu and Fraser Gallop. I have had richer Art Series Chardonnays but personally I love the balance in this. — 8 days ago

@Rob Brobst III Always a quality bottle of Chardonnay Rob. Varies between medium bodied to medium/full bodied but built to last 10+ years.

Art Series Margaret River Shiraz 2020

Jakub Kalinowski
9.1

Nicely aromatic & restrained (for Australia) with purity of dark fruit (blackberries, plums, mulberry), nice depth and excellent tannins quality - juicy, polished, finely grained.
Very elegant & with beautiful balance between the ripeness & savoury notes.
A really lovely wine! — 2 months ago
