Xanadu Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
If Stevens represents Xanadu’s most refined expression of cabernet, Reserve is its most concentrated style, a wine of intense blackcurrants and black pastilles, yet maintaining impressive structural poise and stamina. Hints of mint and menthol are likely a reflection of the eucalypt trees surrounding the Timber Creek single vineyard in Wilyabrup. Considerable structural presence of very firm, fine, gravelly tannins promise great things in the cellar.
