This Vancouver based collector was introduced to fine wine in his early 20s. He joined a few wine clubs, Commanderie de Bordeaux and Confrerie de Tastevin among them, and started his cellar in the 90s. He has been an avid collector since, amassing over 8000 bottles throughout the years and keeping meticulous provenance notes on each one; the 2 bottles of 1988 Chateau Margaux were purchased in 2015 through Zachys. His wines were procured from government and private stores, direct from US wineries and Zachy’s in NY and all have been stored in his temperature and humidity-controlled cellars at home as well as at 13C Wine Storage.
The score for 2001 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Washington is 96 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Funky and woody on the nose, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon still has elements of dried red cherry and black raspberry reduction with cinnamon-covered currants on the nose. I am sensing some bottle variance, but the full-bodied wine goes on to show a delightful structure that should hold together for a few more years in the bottle. Ultimately, the wine ends with a tannic edge over the long conclusion, ending with mature flavors of stewed fruit compote with an element of old oak and pine bark.
