Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Elegant and finely structured, with blackcurrant, cassis, mulberry and raspberry layered with cedar, tobacco, bay leaf and subtle earthy notes. The palate is medium-bodied and vibrant, framed by fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity and a long, refined finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with grilled steak, roast lamb, braised beef, venison, mushroom dishes, aged cheddar, or other mature hard cheeses.

94 Points - James Suckling

The nose is deeply perfumed, with complex aromas of blackcurrants, olive tapenade, tobacco leaves, cedar and saltbush. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and focused acidity, giving notes of blood plums, wild blackberries, graphite and ferric earth. Very refined and polished. Delicious. A blend of 86% cabernet franc and 14% malbec. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

There's a lovely evocative lift of tangy cran-raspberry fruit at first sniff, with mint, dark chocolate and savory spice following closely behind. The palate is tugged tightly by sinewy, savory tannins, but is balanced by a big lift of tangy acidity and fruit weight. A powerful bottling that should cellar for at least a decade.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

This bold red offers a dense mix of currant, cassis and plum flavors that show details of date-nut bread, tobacco, star anise and fennel seed. The tannins are thick and prominent, but never get in the way of the expression of the wine, with a touch of sage and black pepper lingering on the long finish. Drink now through 2036.
