Description
As we all now know the 2002 Vintage in Ontario, especially for reds, was blockbuster and the wines are now starting to really come into their own. Case in point is this 02 Cabernet from Harbour Estates, with lots of pleasure for the nose and suppleness in the mouth. The smells are green pepper, black pepper, raspberry, plum and dark chocolate. The wine has a sweet entry into the mouth, smooth going through, but ends dry with some tannin grip. As it passes through you get the definite taste of raspberries and a hint of cedar. A warming sensation comes over you as it travels from front palate to back palate. This wine could still use a couple of years to develop more fully but it has a great pedigree and is shaping up wonderfully. My advice is to buy a few and watch it grow.
