Moss Wood Amys Margaret River 2024

Moss Wood Amy's, Margaret River, Western Australia, 2024   

Grapes: A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 72%, Merlot 11%, Malbec 8%, Petit Verdot 9%, hand picked, aged in oak for 16 months (no new oak), bottled unfined

Producer Tasting Notes:

Colour: Deep, brick red; bright condition.

Nose: Lifted and perfumed, showing ripe blackcurrant, blueberry and plum, supported by hints of violet, red liquorice and dark chocolate. Subtle cedar, spice and tarry undertones provide depth and complexity.

Palate: The palate carries generous berry and plum flavours with a rich, medium-full body. Fine, firm tannins sit neatly behind the fruit, giving length and balance, while a fresh acid line provides definition. The warm season’s concentration is evident in the wine’s density and depth, yet it retains the hallmark approachability that defines Amy’s.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, this wine displays a deep, dark colour with subtle crimson hues. The nose is ripe with blackcurrant and plummy characters, complemented by a lifted aromatic perfume. On the palate, deep, succulent dark fruit flavours are supported by fine, firm tannins, providing excellent structure. The oak is well-integrated, enhancing the wine without overpowering it. Moss Wood Amy’s 2024 is ideal for medium-term drinking, allowing the prominent primary fruit characters to shine."

95/100 points, Ray Jordan, WINE PILOT, November 2025

"It’s a bold and fruit forward wine offering blackberry, raspberry, dark chocolate, liquorice and a dried flower perfume. It’s fleshy and juicy in black fruit, mocha richness, a grainy grip to tannin, acidity is balanced, maybe has some orange nip to it, and finishes earthy, with a slight chicory bitterness, closes quite firm with good length. It’s kind of robust and rugged, but has plenty to sink your teeth into all the same."

90/100 points, Gary Walsh, THE WINE FRONT, October 2025

"Deep dark purple-red; intense, essency cassis, dark plum, violets and toasty oak on the nose, the palate succulent and fruit-sweet, with almost lush presence and a touch of graphitey tannin on the finish. Full bodied, rich and ripe—an almost opulent wine. A little more time will soften it further. "

92/100 points, Huon Hooke, THE REAL REVIEW, November 2025

This wine is for people who enjoy a little more power and structure to their red wines. The Moss Wood Amy’s is produced in a style specifically intended to have early appeal. The generous fruit characters and well-balanced tannin structure ensure it can be enjoyed as a youngster.  Of course, Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon has a tremendous reputation for cellaring and the 2024 Amy’s will certainly benefit from further ageing, of say 8-10 years, but customers are encouraged to appreciate and enjoy its attractive fruit flavours now and save space in their cellar for the Ribbon Vale or Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignons.

Food Match: A classic Bordeaux blend from one of Australia’s most regarded wine makers. This wine is intended to be served with the meat course of a meal and would benefit from an hours breathing and or decanting.
