Vinework Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$22.10 Reg: $26.00 / 750 ml
Aromas of ripe red berry fruits, blackcurrants and plums are complimented by subtle spicy oak characters with hints of bay leaf and sage. On the palate, medium to full-bodied Cabernet with plenty of liveliness, popping with bright raspberry and cassis characters. The pristine fruit and fine tannins combine to produce a very complete wine, distinctly Cabernet with an elegant structure and a wonderful persistence of fruit.
Xanadu
Vinework Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
From Our Sommeliers
“The 2021 Xanadu "Vinework" Cabernet Sauvignon is a brilliant expression of the excellence of Margaret River winemaking. Dark fruit, bell pepper, eucalyptus and mint, there is both a delicacy and power to the wine that often gets lost in Cabernet Sauvignon production around the world.“ - Michael Meagher
