2010 | Harbison Estate | The Trail

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate The Trail wraps around the palate with layers of dark spiced fruit, menthol and white flowers. This is a relatively floral, open wine for the vintage, reflecting the silky personality of the clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon. Mocha, raspberry jam and flowers are layered into the juicy, expressive finish.

Producer Information

Joe and Pat Harbison’s entry into the wine business was anything but typical. Known for his legendary wine cellar, Joe was often called on by various charities to create auction lots or rare and exquisite wines. Culling the best from his cellar, their generosity helped raise much-needed funds for over three decades. Recognizing wine’s importance in fundraising, they decided to produce their own label called JP Harbison with purchased fruit from Oakville. Norm Roby of Decanter Magazine called their project “the ultimate new boutique brand” when just six cases of the first vintage were made available for sale and the rest donated to charity. JP Harbison produced vintages from 1998-to 2007 and generated over $3 million for children’s charities.The Harbison story was born in 2005, Joe and Pat were fortunate to find a small parcel of land on Oakville’s Eastside and began the development of their winegrowing estate. The site proved ideal for planting Cabernet Sauvignon and sits on the same uplifted alluvial fan and red volcanic dirt as its already famous neighbors. The estate is planted in three small vineyard blocks that yield a total production of approximately 75 cases of Harbison Estate Cabernet Sauvignon each vintage.
