Moss Wood Amy’s, Margaret River, Western Australia – 2022

Moss Wood’s great value “Amy’s” is one of our favourite examples from the beautiful Margaret River wine region. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 7% Malbec and 7% Petit Verdot with ripe, concentrated cassis fruit, well-structured tannins and good freshness and elegance. From the warm and sunny 2022 vintage, this is a super quality second wine to the estate’s more famous Cabernet Sauvignon. 

Winemaker tasting notes

Nose:
Dominated by bright aromas of cherry chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, marshmallows and rose. In the back ground there are tarry and cedar notes and toasted oak.

Palate:
Carrying over from the nose the blueberries and red currants are immediately apparent. The firm tannin structure is accented nicely by the generosity contributed by the medium-full body of the mid-palate. The acidity has a gentle linearity which pairs nicely with the texture derived from the French Oak. The vibrancy and liveliness of the fruit weight makes this wine very appealing and should be enjoyed while in its youth.

Press reviews

“Heaven!  I have yet to meet a more ardent fan of Moss Wood wines than yours truly, and this is another epic Aussie wine which is featured in my 100 Best Australian Wines Report 2025.

Silky, honed, blackberry-soaked and seamless, Amy’s is one of the most incredible Cabernets on earth, and while it embodies the hallowed turf of Margaret River, it also manages to wink at the Médoc and nudge Bolgheri in the ribs, too, such is the class and detail here.  I know the price looks too cheap for it to be a genuinely serious wine, but I can assure you that this is one of the finest value Cabs on planet Earth.

I have been singing about Amy’s for aeons as it represents a glimpse of the glory of the great Moss Wood Grand Vin while packaging a flavour that rewards immediately. There is no need to cellar this wine because it is match fit and ready to perform. Interestingly, this is one of the most structured Amy’s of late on account of the quality of the harvest, but even this doesn’t slow down your enjoyment. It means you must stop at nothing to buy some for your collection. Bright, open and feisty, this is a perfect early-drinking Margaret River Cabernet with just that bit more grunt and depth of field than usual. Electric!” 5 stars Matthew Jukes
