Vasse Felix / Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
In addition to the classic blackcurrant aroma, there are lovely herbs, reminiscent of roasted coffee, concentrated blackcurrant, dried oregano and subtle hints of vanilla bean from the toasted casks.
Region: Western Australia
Origin: Margaret River
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot
Winemaking: Fermented and aged in 100% French oak barrels. Approximately 50% new barrels, the rest 1-4 years old. Aged for 18 months.
The wine is well balanced with silky blackcurrant fruit flavors up front, carried along the palate by a fresh acid moving into dried herbal flavors and firm, slightly drying tannins. The soft texture of this medium-bodied wine is balanced by the fruit weight on the mid-palate and the long dry finish provided by the elegant tannins.
