Moss Wood Amy’s Cabernet Blend 2024 from Moss Wood in Wilyabrup, Margaret River is a cracking Bordeaux‑style red that overperforms for the price – deeply coloured, cabernet‑driven and already loaded with plush fruit and structure. It is one of the strongest Amy’s releases in recent years.

In the glass, Moss Wood Amy’s Cabernet Blend 2024 shows a deep, dark brick‑red/purple hue with blue tints and bright clarity, opening with blackcurrant, blueberry and plum, violet and red liquorice, dark chocolate, graphite, tapenade, fennel and subtle tobacco and spicy French oak. The palate is succulent and fleshy yet structured, packed with ripe black and red fruits over fine, chalky, cabernet tannins, fresh acidity and well‑integrated oak, finishing long, sturdy and savoury with tea, leather and cocoa complexity.

This Moss Wood Amy’s 2024 is tailor‑made for roast lamb, beef rib‑eye, burgers, bolognese, hard cheeses and slow‑cooked casseroles, where its fruit, tannin and spice really shine. It drinks beautifully now with a quick decant but will happily cellar for a decade, gaining more savoury, bottle‑aged complexity along the way.
