I am betting, in years to come this wine will be the sleeper
that is "re-discovered" and ramped

Lot 761 to 878

2006 was a demanding / shocking vintage for red wines in Margaret River. The long cool season produced some truly stunning slow ripened chardonnays. Sadly lots of Cabernet Sauvignon never ripened and many producers in the south didn?t have enough fruit to make a 2006 wine. 2006 Moss Wood Cabernet was a style change with more cool minty cabernet character than the critics were accustomed to and on release it received a luke-warm local reception. (funny some of the UK scribes raved about it)
 
About a year after release the cool minty leafiness morphed to stunning tobacco leaf and the wine took on a new dimension.
 
If you tried, and disregarded the 2006 on release, buy another bottle and look again.
