1989 Cabernet Sauvignon
The reputation of Vasse Felix was founded, to a large degree, on our elegant, understated Cabernet Sauvignons. Recognisably similar in style to the better Bordeaux blends, the Vasse Felix wine is the result of careful blending of only the finest quality fruit. The wine is aged in new French Nevers oak casks prior to bottling.
Tasting Notes
Richly coloured, with the purplish tinge that characterises young Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine exhibits strong Mulberry fruit aromas supported by new Nevers Oak. The sweetness and complexity of berry fruit and oak flavours linger with fresh, but soft tannins. An elegant wine with a long finish.
Winemaker Notes
The elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit flavour for which Margaret River is renowned demands that the wine should be enjoyed within 5 to 6 years of the vintage date. Connoisseurs will appreciate the complexity that will develop with a further 5 years of bottle age.
