Xanadu Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

A pretty, fragrant bouquet of violets, blackcurrants and black cherries heralds a palate at once fragrant and elegant, exactingly focused in its varietal precision and tight-grained and confident in its tannin profile. There are complex notes of sweet tobacco leaf, cedar and graphite. Impeccably honed, this is a beautiful and enduring Xanadu, the essence of Margaret River cabernet sauvignon, with a magnificent life stretching long before it. $26 at Wine Cow.
