The Lake Breeze Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 was recommended by the staff at Dan Murphy’s Menai, I was told the distinct minty flavours would be an ideal match for our roast lamb meal, the suggestion was spot on.
Deep crimson with purple hues, this Cabernet has vibrant aromas of plum and blackcurrant. Full flavoured and well balanced, lush forest fruits up front lead into a long finish of mint, cedar oak and some spices. The sound structure of the wine is enhanced by smooth and drying tannins. Lakebreeze have further information and tasting notes available.
Although it is not neccessarily an indication of a wines quality, the past 11 vintages of the Lake Breeze Cabernet Sauvignon have won 3 trophies and 19 gold medals at wine shows, a solid track record.
Score: 9/10
Price: $18
Closure: Cork
Would I buy this wine again?
Definitely, value for money and quality abounds.
Sounds like great stuff… does it hit the export market, too, or is it mostly for domestic consumption?
