94 Points - Ray Jordan
Vasse Felix is one of Margaret River's biggest names, regularly delivering benchmark expressions of the styles synonymous with this highly acclaimed region. Vasse Felix's Filius Cabernet Sauvignon has established a strong reputation for consistently delivering a fresh, modern example of popular regional style
The 2023 Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Sauvignon continues the impressive form of this wine. Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon blended with a touch of Malbec and Petit Verdot, this delivers another fragrant vibrant, fruit-forward Cabernet. Soft, juicy and approachable, this offers intense dark fruit flavours; plum, cassis, dark chocolate, with fresh fruit acidity and soft tannins. A delicious drinking Cabernet now, this promises plenty of joy over the next decade and is super value at this limited-time price.
"94 Points. Consistently one of the best cabernets from WA. It’s designed to express its best qualities as a young wine, with its brightness and energy immediately apparent. It’s a blend of cabernet with a small amount of malbec, an important variety at Vasse Felix. Smooth and seamlessly structured with a sublimely elegant expressive palate. It’s medium-bodied with a fine boned structure. Subtle use of oak and fine tannins adds support. The best yet. Cellar: 8 Years. $30"- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au.
"92 Points. Highly appealing from the word go. All dark fruits and spice, savoury with a little mint and nori in the mix. It’s supple and giving across the mid-weighted palate, pliable tannins and a freshness throughout. 14% alc. $30. Drink: 2025 - 2030"- Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion.
