XanaduStevens Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
About this product
The nose shows distinct blackcurrants and satsuma plums with hints of redcurrant, graphite and bay leaf in the background. While certainly approachable in its youth, this is a wine which will benefit from further bottle maturation, and will cellar comfortably.

A small production single vineyard wine that reflects both this southern Margaret River region and the vineyard characteristics. Aromas of subtle cool mint and dark chocolate and blackcurrant richness with a thread of cedary and slightly savoury oak. An elegantly structured and most refined cabernet with plenty of palate power. There is deep generosity in here that offers so much on the palate.

Bright crimson; this has the Stevens Road DNA at its most expressive and triumphant; Xanadu has carved out a cabernet style all its own, as if the Great Southern has crept in under the bedclothes one night. It is awesome in its focus and precision, which allow it to tread lightly, seemingly impossible for a young cabernet of supreme class.
