95 points - "One of the most popular of all the Moss Wood wines. It comes from the Glenmore vineyard a little further north and is a cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec and petit verdot blend. Every year it hits the mark with its delivery of beautiful, rich fruit character. Blackcurrant and dark chocolate on the nose, and a succulent and lavish palate that is so exquisitely balanced and poised. This is one of the best." - Ray Jordan (Ray Jordan Wine)

95 points - "A classic Bordeaux Blend style from Margaret River, the wine is 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 8% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. It is worth mentioning that if you really want to get your full wine geek on, no other winery in the country provides as much and as intricate detail about their wines as these guys do. Definitely worth checking out their website (you doubt me? You want to know the Baume of each of those varieties and the date on which they were each harvested, it is all there). Maturation was in French oak barriques, none of them new. Deep magenta with a plum rim, this is a really exciting wine and helps to confirm the reports of 2025 being something very special. Whilst one should be happy with what is to hand and not playing the ‘grass is greener’ card, if this wine is this good then Moss Wood’s Cabernet from the same vintage might be yet another tour de force. The nose here gives us aromas of chocolate, cassis, leather, truffles, tobacco leaves, aniseed and plums. The structure is seamless with immaculate balance and the wine is well focused with excellent length. It finishes with silky tannins. Still youthful and fresh, it surely has at least another dozen years ahead of it. And what incredible value." - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)

93 points - "81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 8% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. After the pretty robust 2024, we are back into a more ‘classic’ vintage with 2025. Blue and black fruit, raspberry jubes, roses and chocolate box, black olive and nori, light cedar oak and spice. It’s medium-bodied, quite supple in the tannin department, just a quiet grainy grip on offer here, a light glycerol feel lends a certain slipperiness, some savoury nutty flavour and milk chocolate, again the blue fruits with an iodine-laced finish of good length. A very nice drink. Quite approachable too." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Tasting Notes
Colour and Condition: Deep brick red; bright condition.

Nose: Lifted and fragrant, with Cabernet Sauvignon leading the way through aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry and redcurrant. Plum and blackberry add depth, with violet and red liquorice providing further lift. In the background are the more complex notes typical of Amy's, with cedar, dark chocolate and subtle spice.

Palate: The palate is medium to full-bodied, with generous blackcurrant, blueberry and plum flavours providing good concentration and length. The fruit sits over a firm but balanced structure, with fresh acidity providing definition and fine tannins giving the wine shape without dominating. Subtle cedar, chocolate and liquorice notes add complexity through the finish, while the generosity of fruit gives the wine the approachability we look for in Amy's.

Vintage Notes
The 2025 growing season was warm and generally even, with good water availability and favourable conditions allowing the varieties to progress steadily through ripening. The season provided ample warmth for full flavour development without the accelerated ripening experienced in some warmer years.

Malbec was the first variety harvested, on 18th March at 13.3° Baume, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon on 27th March at 13.8° Baume. Petit Verdot was picked on 2nd April at 14.0° Baume, with Merlot completing the harvest on 3rd April at 13.5° Baume.

All four varieties arrived at the winery in excellent condition and free of disease.

Production Notes
The fruit was hand-picked and delivered to the winery, where it was hand-sorted and destemmed. The must was then pumped into stainless steel closed fermenters and inoculated for primary fermentation. Pump-overs were conducted three times per day to enhance colour and flavour extraction.

After 14 days on skins, the wine was pressed, and both primary and malolactic fermentation were completed in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine was racked to 228-litre French oak barriques, none of which were new.

The wine remained in barrel for 14 months, before being racked and blended in stainless steel. Fining trials were conducted to assess tannin balance, but the wine showed no improvement and therefore remained unfined. The Moss Wood 2025 Amy's was then sterile filtered and bottled on 30th June 2026.

Cellaring
Amy's is made to be approachable and enjoyable as a young wine, with generous fruit and balanced tannins providing plenty of immediate appeal. The 2025 can certainly be enjoyed now for its vibrant Cabernet fruit and freshness.

For those who prefer some bottle development, careful cellaring over the next 8 to 10 years will see the youthful berry characters gradually evolve and the wine develop more complex cedar, chocolate and savoury notes.
