2021 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

Vinous
The cool and challenging vintage is on show in the 2021 Merlot Ribbon Vale. It delivers subtle and pretty aromas of graphite, gravel and just-ripened blackcurrant, topped by a generous serving of herbs and cedar. Lightly framed and acid-driven, fleshy cassis flavors are then backed by heavyset, firm-edged tannins edging out the fruit. Give this some time to build more texture and weight.
