About Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon
Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaret River opens with a beautifully composed bouquet of dark cassis, ripe blackcurrant, and a whisper of dried herbs characteristic of the region's maritime-influenced terroir. On the palate, the wine is structured and precise, with polished tannins framing layers of blackberry compote, dark plum, and a subtle graphite minerality. Cedar and cigar box notes from careful oak maturation weave through the mid-palate, adding complexity and depth. The finish is long, persistent, and refined, with lingering notes of dark fruit and a touch of bay leaf that speak to the classic Margaret River style.
