Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Margaret River has built its reputation on Cabernet Sauvignon, and this bottling from Vasse Felix sits at the approachable end of that range. The Filius is the producer's younger-vine, earlier-drinking expression, a 2023 still red from Western Australia's maritime southwest corner that aims for varietal clarity rather than weight for its own sake.
Red currant and a candied fruit-pastille note lead the way, brushed with garden herbs and a thread of red licorice. What sets it apart at this level is density: the tannins are serious and firmly built, matched to real fruit power and a long finish. There is more here than the entry tier usually offers, and it rewards some patience in the cellar.

Expert Reviews
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Filius opens with a burst of red currant and fruit pastille aromas, accented by touches of herb garden and red licorice. This wine shows surprising density, particularly in the tannins, which are serious and well matched to significant fruit power and length. A Filius for the cellar.
