The Lake Breeze “Bernoota” 2004 is a blend of Shiraz and Cabernet grown in Langhorne Creek. This particular vintage picked up trophies at the Adelaide and Perth wine shows in 2006, and as such is festooned with gold stickers.
Up front aromas of dark fruits and berries, mint and an underlying dustyness lure you into the glass. Intense and full bodied, this blend shows ripe plum and dark berries, puckering tannins and hint of spices and bitter cocoa on the finish.
I can see how this wine would stand out from the pack at a wine show and it is excellent value for the price. Recommended for those who like their wines coming straight down the line at full throttle.
Score: 90/100
Price: $17
Closure: Screwcap

Would I buy this wine again?
For the price it would be interesting to see how a couple of bottles were showing in a few year time.
