2020 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River, Western Australia
Deep ruby with a nose of restrained power. Blue and black fruits, with hints of violets, cedar tar and spices. The palate has enormous power and persistence, yet the first impression is of elegance and grace, before finishing with full and ripe tannins.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2020 season in Margaret River was warm, low-yielding, dry and very early—one of the earliest on record. The wines produced in this year are, across the board, concentrated and full of flavor (and tannin). This 2020 Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon is all of those things, a perfect barometer of the vintage. The most pronounced character in this wine, at this point, is the oak (as you first taste it), swiftly followed by the fruit, which subsumes all in the mouth. The tannins come next, with loads of ductile density and structure. Finally, as the wine unfurls through the finish, the pedigree of the site comes to the fore (new clones planted/grafted in the past five or so years are really paying off). This is a very serious Cabernet offering from an excellent vintage. It will be even better in a few years.
