XanaduStevens Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
About this product
The generous yet elegant palate offers wonderfully fleshy fruit characters; inky Satsuma plums and cassis combine with supple tannins and savoury dark chocolate elements culminating with a distinct purity of fruit, and a lingering Cabernet finish.
Concentrated, dark forest fruits and blackcurrant pastille with hints of bay leaf, graphite and toasty oak in the background. While vibrant and robust in its youth, this is a wine which will certainly benefit from further bottle maturation, and will cellar comfortably.
