Lake House Postcard Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Partners in Wine WA Review

93 Points
“Super juicy, with lots of beautiful red fruit flowing through the palate. Medium-bodied with a long-lasting mouthfeel. This is best served at around 16°C to highlight its juicy profile. If you can, give it 60 minutes in a decanter to really let the fruit and texture open up and allow the wine to shine.”

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep red with youthful purple hues.
• Aromatics: Blackcurrant, red fruits and darker berries, accompanied by spice, tobacco and leafy hints of mint.
• Palate: Super juicy and medium-bodied, with briary red and dark fruits filling the mouth.
• Oak complexity: French oak contributes chocolate, toast, spice and roasted coffee bean characters.
• Structure: Velvety tannins provide smooth, controlled structure without overwhelming the fruit.
• Finish: Long and persistent, with lingering red fruit, chocolate and a toasty coffee bean note.

About the Postcard Series

The Postcard Series is The Lake House Denmark’s signature wine range, showcasing selected vineyard sites and premium parcels of Great Southern fruit.

The wines are designed to capture the individual character of their variety and growing region while remaining approachable enough to enjoy without extended cellaring.

For this Cabernet Sauvignon, fruit was selected from vineyards within Frankland River, a Great Southern subregion particularly well suited to structured, deeply flavoured red wines.

Serving and Decanting

Serve The Lake House Postcard Cabernet Sauvignon at approximately 16°C.

This is slightly cooler than the temperature of most Australian homes. Serving it too warm can make the alcohol feel more noticeable and cause the fruit to taste heavier and less refreshing.

If the bottle has been stored in a room at approximately 22 to 24°C, place it in the refrigerator for around 45 to 60 minutes before opening.

Decanting for approximately 60 minutes is recommended when possible. This allows oxygen to soften the wine’s tannins and helps release more of its red fruit, blackcurrant, mint, spice and chocolate aromas.

Food Pairing

• Grilled steak: The wine’s Cabernet structure and juicy fruit complement sirloin, rump or rib eye.
• Roast lamb: Mint, tobacco and dark fruit work naturally with herb-roasted lamb and vegetables.
• Beef burgers: Try it with a chargrilled burger, caramelised onion and mature cheddar.
• Beef ragu: The red fruit and acidity help balance a rich tomato and slow-cooked beef sauce.
• Mushroom dishes: Roasted field mushrooms or mushroom risotto complement its earthy, toasty characters.
• Mature cheese: Aged cheddar, Gouda or firm farmhouse cheese suits the wine’s dark fruit and coffee bean finish.

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
