FrogPond Farm 2002 Cabernet/Merlot

DescriptionDescription  First, the Pond impressed me with their 9th place finish at the OntarioWineReview Cabernet Franc Challenge (Regular Franc category) … and that was out of 32 wines from all over Ontario. Now comes the ’02 Cab/Merlot into Vintages – and what a treat. Gamy and leathery on the nose, which almost put me off, but in the mouth it was something altogether different. Sweet herbs, black fruit and sweet spice, culminate in a sour cherry finish – it’s enjoyable right now with burgers or pizza.
