Description
"Lake's Folly Cabernets is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Shiraz made from low-yielding, estate-grown, hand-picked fruit. The fruit is open-fermented (producing softer, more subtle tannins) and then transferred to large format casks for six months for settling, and then into small French oak barriques (new, one-year-old and two-year-old) for approximately one year before bottling." - Lake's Folly
"Medium-deep red-purple colour with a bouquet of blackberry and cassis laced with new leather and a little chocolate, the palate is medium-full bodied and elegantly cast, with a slight dip in the centre while the tannins are fine-grained, powdery and balanced. A precision, effortless, fruit-driven wine that will reward some cellar time. (cabernet sauvignon 75%, merlot 10%, shiraz 8%, petit verdot 7%)" - 94 points, Huon Hooke
