2024 Lake’s Folly Cabernets Hunter Valley

2024 Lake’s Folly Cabernets Hunter Valley – The 2024 Lake’s Folly Cabernets continues the estate’s long-standing tradition of producing one of Australia’s most elegant and classically proportioned Cabernet blends. Comprised primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon with a small inclusion of Shiraz, it is a wine defined by finesse, savoury complexity and effortless balance rather than sheer scale. Refined and aromatic, the bouquet opens with blackcurrant, red plum and dark cherry layered with violet, bay leaf and dried herbs. Notes of cedar, graphite and tobacco leaf emerge gradually, alongside subtle hints of olive, spice and earth that lend depth and classical structure. Medium-bodied and beautifully composed, the palate delivers pure cassis and red berry fruits framed by fine, silky tannins and bright, integrated acidity. The small Shiraz component adds suppleness and gentle spice to the wine’s otherwise linear Cabernet profile. Savoury notes of cedar, dried herbs and graphite build through the mid-palate, while the finish is long, graceful and finely detailed, carried by mineral freshness and quiet persistence. A restrained, age-worthy Australian Cabernet blend that speaks more of precision and harmony than power. Elegant in its youth, yet clearly structured for graceful development over the next 10–20+ years. Single Price: $140.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $110.00
