XANADU CABERNET SAUVIGNON MARGARET RIVER 2020

Dr. John Lagan's Xanadu Wines harnesses Margaret River's Mediterranean climate and gravelly loam soils to produce this expressive Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend with Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The wine bursts with ripe blackcurrant, blueberry, and dark plum aromas accented by bay leaf and licorice, while subtle oak adds toasty spice notes. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers juicy forest berry and cassis flavors with dark chocolate richness, supported by supple, ripe tannins and a fleshy texture. Savory inflections of black olive, bay, and licorice provide regional character through a persistent, balanced finish.
