Vasse Felix Tom Cullity 2020 Review

Vasse Felix is the founding winery of Australia's esteemed Margaret River region. Founder Dr. Tom Cullity came back to Australia after falling in love with the wines in Europe. Among his first vines planted in 1967 were Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, and this blend of the two is a tribute to him. The nose is focused with taught red fruit and a layer of cracked peppercorns swimming in your senses. The palate is balanced but ready to age with prominent tannins that are very present but don’t overwhelm. In a few years the tannins will calm down, but it's drinking well now with some breathing room.
