Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Ray Jordan

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.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

This vintage turned out so many elegant, compelling wines – both red and white – and here’s another to add to the collection. A deep, dark garnet, with all the best aromas and flavours the variety can muster, yet there’s a restraint to this. It’s classy with finely shaped tannins and lithe acidity. Drinking beautifully today and won’t disappoint those who want to cellar it.

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.
