Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon

“Made every year since 1972, it is Margaret River’s archetypal Cabernet Sauvignon.”

Undoubtedly one of Margaret River’s top reds! Heck, it’d sit at the big boys table of Aussie Cabernets given it’s a regular in the 95+ point category with top critics around the globe.

The Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon has, in their own words, all of the hallmarks of top Margaret River Cabernet – elegance, power and ageability.

This 2022 vintage is some seriously good Cabernet to get your mits on. It’s a vintage they describe as “rare and fine”. Using their finest fruit from Wilyabrup the wine is 89% Cabernet, 10% Malbec with a 1% splash of both Merlot in there too. Aged for 19 months in 34% new French oak and 67% oak that’s aged between 1-4 years.

And what do the critics think? They’re bloody head over heels for it…

95/100 (James Halliday’s Wine Companion)
“On the one hand this seems approachable and complete, so it’s drinking superbly; but, on the other hand, there’s structure and detail with a framework of fine tannins and acidity, ensuring this will garner more complexity in time. Go ahead and enjoy its violets, mulberries and blackberries, raspberry leaf, dousing of licorice, oak spices and black olives with some dark mint-chocolate, too, with plenty of savouriness throughout. There’s a certain elegance and vitality to this, giving it an edge.”

95/100 & Top Rank Award (Huon Hooke, The Real Review)
“Reserved but inviting aromas of blue fruits and violets, a lacing of nori/dried seaweed; the palate sweet fruited and juicy, succulent, a gorgeous full-bodied wine with soft tannins and real elegance. A top vintage of this wine. (10% malbec, 1% merlot. Aged 19 months in French oak, 34% new)”

95/100 (Stuart Knox, The Real Review)
“This is a delight to drink now, and as a classic cabernet it will cellar very well.”

A very special bottle of red. Drink now or cellar up to 20 years from vintage.
