2020 Moss Wood Merlot Ribbon Vale Vineyard Margaret River, Western Australia
On the nose displays powerful aromas of blackberry and mulberry, backed up by notes of mushroom, tar and earth. The palate has immediate impact with intense dark fruit notes of cherry and blackberry filling the front and mid palate. Underneath is a firm structure of acidity and tannin, but both are in good balance, such that the texture is smooth, with no drying or bitter astringency

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2020 Ribbon Vale Merlot is concentrated and pert/energetic in the mouth. The fruit leans from black cherry to raspberry to nori and back to black tea, swinging in the palate like a weathervane in the breeze. The length of flavor through the finish is long and lingering, and it speaks of Margaret River so thoroughly in its maritime freshness that it brings a smile to the face. It’s a brilliant wine, with excellent concentration, poise and polish.
