A collector since university, more than 30 years ago, this consignor was on his school’s wine tasting team in England and was fortunate to have access to the university’s cellars to taste and learn about fine wines. He developed an appreciation for age worthy wines and began to purchase and carefully store them. Later in life he became friends with winemakers in the old and new world regions and was able to purchase highly allocated wines through them. He also buys wine from agents and the LCBO and occasionally from auction and all bottles go directly to storage at Iron Gate.
Producer Notes for 2000 Forman Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - Ric Forman is one of the living legends of California winemaking. With a history at Sterling, Newton, Duckhorn, Abreu, and of course Forman Vineyards. There are few other winemakers who can claim such influence in the very formation of the wine industry in Napa. This vintage is composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot. Forman Vineyard, in St. Helena, Napa Valley, was founded in 1983 by Ric Forman, who remains the owner and winemaker. Forman owns nearly 90 acres in the St. Helena and Rutherford appellations. Forman has spent his life in the Napa Valley. While a student at the University of California at Davis he worked for Stony Hill and later at Robert Mondavi. At age 24 he was hired as winemaker at Sterling Vineyards. Forman makes primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, though he has also made Merlot. His wines are made in traditional California styles, according to wine write James Laube, who compliments them for their “finesse and grace.”
