98 Points - James Halliday
Long considered one of Australia's most consistent Cabernet producers, Lake Breeze Arthur's Reserve is a tribute to Arthur Follett, who planted the first vines on the family property in the 1880’s. The 2020 release is a blend of 90% Cabernet, 7% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot, with carefully selected grapes from 40-50 year old vines on the Follet family vineyard.
Awarded top gold at the 2022 Royal Adelaide Wine Show, the 2020 Lake Breeze Arthur's Reserve Cabernet Blend is another stunning release of this flagship Langhorne Creek Cabernet. Offering all the classic regional blackcurrant aromas with violets, mint and savoury characters. The palate has incredible depth and silkiness, with layer upon layer of flavours and wonderful intensity and length on the finish.
"98 Points. A high-quality outcome that is supple yet complex, with blackcurrant fruit riding on the back of ripe tannins and integrated oak. The blend is made 20 months post-vintage and spends a further 15 months in barrel thereafter. Lake Breeze's flagship wine. Screwcap. 14% alc. Drink: 2023 - 2043."- James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 2024.
