Absolutely clean as a whistle. Showing Margaret River coolness and with the primary fruit having just integrated. This will kick on for another decade.

Notes of Capsicum (red pepper), mulberry and leafy notes. A good entry level Cabernet from Xanadu. Medium bodied with all the characteristics of quality Margaret River Cabernet but a little detuned. Xanadu is one of the up and coming wineries in the west winning major trophies on the Show Circuit like Deep Woods Estate who are challenging the established Margaret River hierarchy like Moss Wood, Cullen, Woodlands, Vasse Felix, Cape Mentelle, Leeuwin Estate etc etc.

Lovely tanins. Creamy start and dry finish. Great standalone wine. An encompassing example of what The Margaret River region of Australia has to offer.

Dusty dry herb and spice. Elegant, nice round and juicy fruit intensity. Silky, layered and deep. Excellent!

Plum, blackcurrants, and mulberries in this lovely, yet tannic and still youthful, Margaret River Cabernet, nice balance, this should improve with 5-7 years of cellaring, very good now!!
