2023 Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon

Beautifully refined and seamless with a long, impeccably finessed finish.

A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Malbec matured in French oak barriques (34% new) for a period of 18 months. Pitch black core with a dark red black tinged hue. Elevated scents of blackcurrant, black olive, red liquorice and mulberry move through the nostrils with impressive intensity. Lending further complexity are cigar box, subtle earth and bay leaf notes. Rich and concentrated yet beautifully refined, a seamless flow of blackcurrant, mulberry, liquorice, cedary tobacco, earthy black olive and spicy bay leaf flavours are layered across the mid weighted palate. Terrific depth and power with perfectly integrated, fine grained tannins providing a sturdy structure across the long, impeccably finessed finish.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.

Cabernet has been the focus for the last 51 years, and the results show. From a great vintage, this wine has elegance, poise, and medium weight — just as Tom Cullity sought from the start in 1967. Loaded with black fruits, seamlessly integrated oak and tannin, and impeccable balance. A cracking wine that marks the next phase of Vasse Felix cabernet.

Classic Margaret River. Aromas of blue, black and purple fruits with a spicy edge and underlying mineral tension of crushed stones and graphite, lifted by perfumed notes of violets and blackberry bush. The midweight palate has real density of fruit and no hard edges, yet the tannins are tightly wound. So taut, pure and balanced. Great value. A blend of 87% cabernet sauvignon and 13% malbec. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
