Cabernet on fire
We are in the midst of the 'wine show season' with some tremendous results again coming our way. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Arthur's Reserve Cabernet, Petit Verdot Malbec have been leading the way.
The Adelaide Wine Show continues to be a happy hunting ground for Lake Breeze with our 2009 Arthur's Reserve bagging top gold and a trophy for the Best Other Red Blend.
I am also really proud to say our Lake Breeze Cabernet Sauvignon ('92, '04 & '10) was selected as a finalist in 'The Outstanding Wine of Provenance' which is one of Adelaide Wine Show's most coveted trophies. This prestigious award assesses three vintages of a wine, with judges looking for a strong sense of style and regionality. Judges this year were Jeremy Oliver, Brian Walsh, Andrew Caillard MW and Canadian judge Chris Waters.
This is the second time we've entered and the second time as finalist. (Here's hoping third time lucky!) Other finalists this year were Wolf Blass Platinum Label and Black Label, McWilliams 1877 Cabernet Shiraz and Skillogallee Riesling, with the winner being Saltram's No 1 Shiraz.
