Mattinson review of Moppity Block M1 Cabernet Sauvignon 2022.

Moppity Block M1 Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$45, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Hilltops.

This wine was grown on vines that are now 25+ years old. In the words of Moppity owner/grower Jason Brown, it’s always been the estate’s “best block”. The beauty of this wine is tied to the fact that it feels unforced. It flows, it’s varietal, it shows bay leaf, blackcurrant, briar and tobacco flavours mostly, and its tannin framework is made up of fine, intricate threads. It won’t set you back on your heels, and it’s pretty savoury in its youth, but in another four or five year’s time this wine will be a mellow, complex masterpiece. 93+ points.
