2017 Moorilla Estate Muse St. Matthias Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon - Cabernet Franc 750ml

Awards, Ratings & Reviews 94/100 — Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion · 2017 Vintage (Published: 04 October 2024, Tasted: 12 Sep 2024) “Crimson in the glass with deep blackberry, blackcurrant and cassis fruits. Leafy around the edges with a distinct coal dust/graphite vibe along with hints of dark spices, cedar, leather, crushed herbs, undergrowth, mahogany and earth. Fruit rich and old-school in its stance with tight, fine-grained tannins and an earthy, darkly spiced and slightly broody exit.” Producer Notes: A silky, elegant Cabernet blend—unapologetically medium-bodied, with layers of savoury spice over a solid core of intense fruit. Tannins are fine and the oak is seamlessly integrated, offering subtle hints of cedar and pepper alongside dark fruit and beetroot-driven earthiness. A classic cool-climate Cab in a timeless, food-friendly style that highlights the variety’s natural versatility at the table. About the Winery Moorilla makes three styles of wine. Praxis is the bold and the immediate. Muse is the old world remade in the new. Cloth Label is luxurious and daring, decades in the making. Its sibling winery, Domaine A, produces big, Bordeaux-inspired wines and younger, drink-now styles under the Stoney Vineyard label.
