Xanadu Circa 77 Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Supple blackberry and currant fruit is woven with savory, winter-warming spices and herbs, violets and a hint of graphite. It’s hard to stop smelling. There’s plushness and a core of ripe dark fruit on the palate, supported by fine tannins. A food friendly drop now, this will age gracefully for several more years. Editors’ Choice. [Will evolve through 2035+.] (Christina Pickard,wineenthusiast.com,July 1, 2026)
