Wine Spectator Top 100 2020
#46 | 2017 Filius Cabernet Sauvignon
"Firm, showing off the region's signature fresh herbal notes, which give this aromatic lift and linger on the finish. Bay leaf, rosemary and cedar details are effortlessly infused into the cassis and plum flavors. A hint of black tea adds to the complexity, as does the seamlessness of the velvety tannins. Drink now through 2035."

Where to Find the Best Cabernets for $25 and Under | 2017 Filius Cabernet Sauvignon
"Filius is the entry-level Cabernet from Vasse Felix, the founding wine estate in Margaret River, Australia. The wine is well structured with firm tannins and great purity of fruit, unmasked by excessive oak."
