2015 TOM CULLITY
"Tom Cullity planted the first vines at Vasse Felix in 1967, starting with cabernet sauvignon and malbec at his eight-acre parcel near Caves Road in Wilyabrup. Virginia Willcock and her team now tend to the descendants of those vines, producing this top selection under Cullity’s name. It’s a complex and elegant Margaret River classic, refreshing for all its supple richness. There’s a note of anise to the spicy scent, a cool sense of tilled earth in the dark tannins. Associate Editor Rachel Del Rocco Terrazas commented on how long the flavors last: ‘All the freshness and tannins work together and leave my mouth super happy.'"
