Vasse Felix Heytesbury Cabernet Petit Verdot Malbec 2009
Tasting Notes
Vasse Felix Heytesbury Cabernet Petit Verdot Malbec 2009 is a powerful yet polished Margaret River red from one of Western Australia’s most celebrated wine estates. Founded in 1967, Vasse Felix was Margaret River’s first commercial vineyard, and the Heytesbury range continues to showcase the region’s outstanding potential for premium Cabernet Sauvignon.
Cabernet Sauvignon leads this distinguished blend, with Petit Verdot and Malbec contributing depth, colour and complexity. Rich layers of cassis, blackberry, dark chocolate, violet and subtle spice unfold across the palate, supported by fine, composed tannins and impressive length. The 2009 vintage delivers an excellent balance of power, structure and refinement.
A superb mature Margaret River wine for collectors and lovers of fine Australian red wine, it pairs beautifully with premium steak, slow-cooked beef and other richly flavoured dishes. Sourced from a premium private cellar.
