LCBO Note Status A Vintage Assessments Explorer's Selection!
Tasting note: Another very fine effort from Cave Spring this vintage – a year that has pitched its creamy, genteel style right into Cave Spring’s wheel house. Bright lemony colour, with quite rich pineapple, pear, spearmint aromas, and just a hint of plastic. Very fine sweetness, richness on the palate, if a bit soft. Excellent to outstanding length. Score – 90. (David Lawrason, Wine Access, Jan. 2002) Price $ 59.95
