Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

The premier Cabernet Sauvignon from Vasse Felix. Since 1972, each vintage of this iconic Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River’s first, has represented a steadfast pursuit of excellence, purity, and wine artistry. Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon is a quintessential expression, displaying all of the characteristics of the best Margaret River Cabernet: elegance, strength, and ageability.

Concentrated and complex smells emerge from black berry coulis and raspberry pip, intermingled with graphite, wet stones, and dry forest floor. Everlasting and potpourri floral notes emerge, as do faint accents of licorice, star anise, and charcoal. A hint of saddle leather, wax, vanilla, and cedar lends depth to this enticing scent.

A fresh and delicate opening leads to a meaty core accentuated by buoyant acidity. Medium-bodied with a great mouthfilling tension, it unfolds with lively complexity—notes of blueberry skin, dark chocolate, and strong tannins lead to a long, dry finish. It’s like a warm, confident handshake.
