"A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon vintage from the Margaret River region, brilliant and delicious to drink according to Wine Advocate!"
"Vasse Felix's eponymous mid-range wine often represents the best value for money from the estate. This wine is an excellent example of the quality and characteristic style of Margaret River Cabernet. Layered aromas of tart redcurrant, raspberry, and cranberry mingle with notes of pencil lead, new pavement, and tobacco leaf. On the palate, there is a wonderful note of crisp redcurrant that counterbalances the savory tannins. 2023-2030" (Wine Enthusiast 2023) • Screw cap

Wine rating (2024 guide) 94/100 (Outstanding wine)
About wine:
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon has an earthy and mineral nose, with notes of gravel and petrol, graphite and iodine, raspberry, nori, pomegranate molasses, and black cherry. The wine reveals its 2020 vintage roots through a compact tannic structure and a core of lush red and purple fruit. On the finish, it has two things in harmony: savory, chewy/ductile/agile tannins and a jubilant character. Brilliant. This is a delicious wine to drink. These wines age tremendously well and represent sensational value for money for a cellar. This is another great wine. 14.5% alcohol, screw cap. 2024-2044

About wine:
A beautiful interpretation of a medium-bodied Cabernet, with great fidelity to the region: lots of brushwood, black olives, bouquet garni, and a welcome floral touch in the grainy finish, with a firm shell of tannins that suggests medium-term aging in the style of a Bordeaux for lunch. Drink now or keep.

About wine:
To recognize a great Cabernet, you have to be seduced by the aromas and flavors, which must be in harmony, not to mention beautiful tannins paired with lovely acidity. Does this wine fall into that category? Absolutely. The flavors of the grape variety are perfect and not entirely discreet, as it is a Cabernet after all, and the result is one of undeniable elegance and class. A magnificent wine.
