About This Wine
Lake's Folly Cabernets is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Shiraz made from low-yielding, estate-grown, hand-picked fruit.
Tasting Notes
Colour – Vibrant brick red.
Nose – Wonderful fruits of fresh black cherries, raspberries and blackberries with a hint of dark chocolate. The oak is so well integrated and assists in the tightness and complexity of the wine.
Palate – Excellent, fresh clean berry fruits burst onto the palate; it is smooth and seamless with just a touch of clean acidity that will ensure this wine lives for a good two decades. Soft tannins with a great length of flavour and persistence – an excellent vintage.
