Moss Wood Pinot Noir 2022
"Margaret River isn’t one of the great pinot noir regions, consequently there are very few made there. This is the best Moss Wood pinot noir I’ve tasted for many years.
Youthful red-purple colour, bright and deep. There are cherry, ginger and iodine/peat aromas which are bright and fresh and fruit driven, while the palate is excitingly intense and bright fruited, with a core of ripe fruit sweetness and assertive but nicely balanced tannin structure. The wine fills out beautifully on the finish and rolls on for a very long time. Very impressive pinot noir now and will age well." 95 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
"Pinot in Margaret River remains an enigma. Yet when you get good years it works well. The generosity of the ’22 vintage is captured in this pretty and powerful pinot. Wild raspberry and cherry notes with a subtle spice. The palate is deeply intense but delivers a light effortless touch.…" 95 Points, Ray Jordan, Ray Jordan Wine
"The 2022 Pinot Noir leads with cherry and wild strawberry, garden mint (or is it a faint waft of eucalypt, instead?) and caper brine. In the mouth, the wine is silky and almost oily/velvety in its texture, with sweet blood orange, pink peppercorn and raspberry in the mix. This is a plush-feeling wine, one that ages very well over the decades. Although an unusual variety for Margaret River—the land of Chardonnay, Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc—Moss Wood has been a staunch advocate of Pinot Noir since the late 1970s/early 1980s. The warm and generally excellent season that was 2022 likely was a little warm for classical Pinot Noir, but this is looking excellent today, and it probably will do for a very long time to come. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap" 92 Points, Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
"Moss Wood Pinot Noir 2022 is a delicious and accomplished wine. Lots of ‘pinotosity’ on the nose – strawberry, cherry and florals. Those red fruits flow through on the palate in what is a well balanced wine.
Balance? It’s the refreshing, bright acid and fine smooth tannins that accompany the fruit. It’s made with about 20% whole bunch which builds in tannins and 20% new oak. Moss Wood is medium bodied with a good depth of flavour.
Moss Wood’s founders planted Pinot way back in the 1973, which is very early in the lifeline of Australian Pinot. And Moss Wood Pinot stand up very well to top shelf Tasmanian and Victorian Pinot. The 2022 is particularly strong." 4.5 stars, Fergal Gleeson, Great Wine Blog
