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.
Producer Notes
Colour – Dark red with a purple hue.
Nose – Vibrant lifted cherry and dark chocolate aromas with hints of toasted oak.
Palate – The palate has lovely clean, sweet fruit flavours of cherry, blackcurrant and white pepper. Soft tannins and a wonderful acid balance complement what must be one of the best Cabernets made here in the past decade. A structured, stylish wine that drinks well now, but will mature beautifully.
