  Moss Wood 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon - is it 1976 Re-visited? When Keith started at Moss Wood for the 1979 vintage, it was an exciting time in the Margaret River region.

As luck would have it, our initial vintages had seasonal variations that produced a series of quite distinct styles and this gave the opportunity to debate the benefits and drawbacks of each. It is now a matter of Moss Wood folklore that the vineyard produced what turned out to be three great vintages in a row, 1975, 1976 and 1977 and which became our early benchmarks. The 1975 was admired for its finesse and complexity, the 1976 for its ripe generosity and the 1977 for sharing a bit in common with both its older siblings..
