2013 Xanadu Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River

Gold Medal, Margaret River Wine Show 2016

Best Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

‘Small batch open-fermented, 35% given extended maceration, blended and matured in French oak (40% new barriques) for 14 months.

Xanadu paints an unerring landscape of intense, elegant Margaret River cabernet, with a stream of cassis fruit bordered by gravelly but fine tannins, oak insistently completing the picture. Great value.’

96 points – James Halliday

Good colour and a fragrant raspberry and floral aroma, red fruits and dried herbs, too. It's lively and a little astringent, with slightly sharp-edged tannins. Some warmth of alcohol in the tail, too. Very good fruit and elegance.27 NOV 2015
