2016 Xanadu 'Stevens Road' Cabernet

98 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
A single parcel of fruit from the bottom of Block 3, which consistently produces some of the best Xanadu cabernet each vintage, separately fermented and treated with kid gloves, matured in French oak (38% new) for 14 months. Top gold National Wine Show '18. Beautifully made, and you can see the quality of the fruit shining through like a beacon, supple and fine, cassis to the fore, touches of bay leaf and herb barely glimpsed.
