The 2006 Cabernets is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Petit Verdot, 8% Merlot and 7% Shiraz, producing a deep garnet color and aromas of graphite, cassis, cedar, a touch of sweaty leather and black olives. It has elegant styling on the palate with a medium body and medium to high acid. The sweaty leather / medicinal character shows-through a bit more on the palate, but only detracting slightly. Medium level of fine, well balanced tannins. Long finish. Drink now to 2017. This iconic anomaly of the Hunter Valley is famous not just for its visionary founder Dr. Max Lake going out on a limb and planting Bordeaux varieties and Chardonnay in this Shiraz and Semillon region, but also for its high quality achievable in compatible vintages, not to mention remarkable ageability. Since 2000 the winery has been in the hands of Peter Fogarty who established Millbrook in the Perth Hills, a groundbreaking winery in its own right. The new owner has thus far maintained the spirit and the quality of Dr Lake’s accolades.Lake’s Folly does not have a USA importer.
