XanaduReserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
About this product
The palate is generous and crammed full of dark forest fruits, mulberries and dark chocolate characters. Powerful, yet refined in structure, fleshy fruits are complimented with plenty of supple tannins; all culminating together to provide a dense, persistent berry fruit finish.
Vibrant and robust in its youth, this is a wine which will certainly benefit from further bottle maturation, and will cellar comfortably.

A Margaret River cabernet of distinguished precision, hallmark integrity and grand, enduring stamina, this is a benchmark Xanadu that sits confidently among the great cabernets of the world. There is depth yet elegance to its blackcurrant fruit poise, lifted with fragrant violet perfume, framed eloquently in the cedar and tobacco of classy French oak. Mineral-fine tannins mark out a finish that will effortlessly see out decades of potential.

There’s real power and style in this outstanding Cabernet. Glenn Goodall sources most of the fruit from Wilyabrup and Treeton. It’s highly scented but it is the palate that stamps its class. Power and structure with firmish but very fine chalky tannins, silky fine oak and superb fruit harnessed perfectly. A wine with a very long future.
