2015 Moss Wood Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Overview

The 2015 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Margaret River benchmark, renowned for its depth, precision, and longevity. Produced from the estate’s historic Wilyabrup vineyard, this vintage captures the hallmark Moss Wood style — 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 Wood’s 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 world’s great Cabernet regions.

Cellaring and Pairing

Approachable now with extended decanting, yet capable of evolving gracefully for 20–30 years. Ideal with roast lamb, rib-eye steak, game meats, or aged cheeses that complement its depth and structure.
