Margaret River, Australia

The 2014 Xanadu Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits vibrant, characteristic aromas of cassis, mulberries, and black plums entwined with hints of cinnamon, nori, and potpourri.

The vibrant bouquet exhibits fresh passion fruit and citrus characters, with dried herbs and hints of lemon sherbet in the background. An easy-drinking classic Margaret River wine style with wonderful purity – crunchy, fruit driven, lipsmacking dry with crisp acidity and a clean refreshing finish.

The palate is medium bodied displaying white peach, nashi pear and zesty citrus flavours. There is a wonderful tension and focus to the wine, with the complexity and texture derived from lees stirring complimenting the taut, mineral structure and fruit intensity. A bright acidity and the fresh fruit flavours persist through to a crisp, lingering finish.

A top quality Cabernet from Margaret River with deep, consentrated blackcurrent and plum flavours with gentle hints of tobacco.
