Lake Breeze 2019 Langhorne Creek Cabernet Sauvignon :
The epitome of signature Langhorne Creek Cabernet. The quality of the fruit is evident from the outset. Its matured for 20 months in French Oak, 40% new, yet this is subservient to the black/blueberry aromas and flavours, some regional dark choc-mint adding a tiny whiff behind. Everything knits together perfectly and the varietal tannin structures lie in exact tune with the whole. When it works so well, wines like this just come alive.
97 points. Halliday Wine Companion.
