Buy 6 bottles of Xanadu Cab Merlot and get 6 bottles FREE of the Xanadu Estate Semillon. Amazing!
Cab Merlot: This delicious wine won a gold medal at the 2008 Qantas Western Australia Wine Awards. This wine exhibits vibrant, aromas of cassis, dark plummy fruits and mocha, entwined with hints of sweet, toasty oak. The full bodied palate is packed with juicy blackcurrants, ripe briary fruits and chocolate characters. This is a generous wine with ripe, approachable tannins, and a warm, lingering finish. Whilst drinking well in its youth, the 2005 Dragon Cabernet Merlot will gain further complexity with bottle maturation, and will certainly reward with medium term cellaring.
Semillon: The really smart thing about this wine is that it starts out all vibrant and fresh, the bouquet offering lively fruit aromas of quince, citrus fruits and dried herbs. Following some rest and maturation the varietal starts to develop a second life and the barrel maturation has added further complexity with restrained, toasty oak characters and hints of roasted cashews. The palate is generous and refined offering ripe pear and fresh grapefruit flavours with underlying bready/nutty characteristics. Beautifully structured, the fruit is balanced by crisp, integrated acidity, layered with a subtle creamy texture. You don't have to just love Semillon with age to enjoy this monster as it speaks to all drinkers on the level of quality hand picked fruit with loads of integrity and all the hard cellaring work has been done for you!
