I think I’ve cited a perfect example of that attention to detail from our visit to the Cellar Door.

The grapes are hand-picked, crushed gently, fermented in the traditional manner, matured in small French oak barrels and bottled by hand.

Lakes Folly Cabernets

Lake's Folly 1999 Hunter Valley Cabernets (5/5 n/a) Fragrant earthy berries on the nose, savoury palate with well defined length. Wonderful event wine where the drinking experience more than matched the anticipation and reputation. Would like to think I can try other vintages, but am not holding my breath. That said, if I see one I'll more than likely be buying,
