2010 Vasse Felix Heytesbury Cabernet Sauvignon

A Bordeaux styled blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot and 10% Malbec which has been matured in French oak barriques for 18 months of which 77% was new and 23% 1-4 year old. Ranked alongside Moss Wood & Cullen’s Diana Madeline as one of Margaret Rivers most highly regarded Cabernets this is a wine of great class and elegance.

An outstanding Margaret River Cabernet built for the long haul.
Totally opaque inky black crimson colour with crimson red black hue. The nose offers up a complex array of aromas including blackcurrant, mulberry, cedary tobacco, a touch of bay leaf and earthy spice. Elegantly weighted yet structured and powerful the palate delivers a Bordeaux like refinement with fully ripened rich blackcurrant and mulberry fruit interplaying with cedary cigar box, subtle bay leaf and spice. Beautifully integrated tannins assert their presence yet are very fine grained. Very long blackcurrant, mulberry, cedary cigar box and spice aftertaste.
