{"product_id":"2023-vasse-felix-cabernet-sauvignon","title":"2023 Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon","description":"\u003cp\u003eVasse Felix was the first winery in Margaret River, planted by Dr Tom Cullity in 1967, and this is the Cabernet that started it all - made every year since 1972. The 2023 release is another ripper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes from Wilyabrup's old, free-draining gravel loams, classic Cabernet country in the north of the region. Chief winemaker Virginia Willcock, who's led the team here since 2006, is known for a lighter touch with wild ferments and plenty of patience, and a dash of Malbec is usually part of the blend for extra savoury interest. 2023 was a season that gave Margaret River a run of elegant, compelling wines, and you can feel that here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's deep and dark in the glass, with blackcurrant, mulberry and a little graphite and cedar, but there's real restraint to it - nothing's overdone. The tannins are fine and nicely shaped, the acidity keeps it lively, and the finish runs long and dry. Lovely now, and it'll reward a good stint in the cellar too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargaret River's original Cabernet, in a cracking year, at a price that's hard to argue with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It’s classy with finely shaped tannins and lithe acidity.
