2021 Vasse Felix 'Filius' Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River
Winemaker Notes: A new-age Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon (blended with Malbec), expressing all the regional hallmarks. It is a bright, fruit-forward, earlier-drinking style with attractive savory nuances from Vasse Felix’s quality-led, minimal intervention winemaking approach. Bright ruby with a purple tinge. On the nose, lovely blood plum and mulberry fragrance, with graphite, some charred nori, roast pan drippings, spicy charcuterie, and a hit of Hickory sauce. A light-to-medium-bodied Cabernet. It has a lovely fresh acidity and fine, crisp and sinewy tannins and a soft, elegant core. Unveils flavors of blood plum and berry Blend: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.5% Malbec, 1.5% Petit Verdott
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Spectator - "Stunning and complex, this stylish, concentrated red offers pure raspberry puree and black cherry flavors that show details of earthy dried porcini mushroom, along with notes of toasted herbs, sandalwood and espresso bean. The long finish reveals firming tannins, but they remain polished and effortless."
