2018 Tom Cullity Cabernet Sauvignon/Malbec, Vasse Felix, Margaret River
The flagship of this historic Margaret River estate. The maritime climate produces fine, mid-weight wines that are most often compared with Bordeaux, and this is one of its greatest examples. With balanced acidity that age gracefully, the wines have a juicy, fragrant style, with clear Cabernet fruit on the nose, fine, powdery tannins and plenty of elegance. There's complex forest, pine and mint notes, with dried herbs and gravel as the palate draws to a long, fine conclusion.
