This Alberta-based couple began their wine collection after enjoying a bottle of Corton Charlemagne at a remarkable restaurant during their anniversary in Les Baux-de-Provence, France, in 2009. Dining outdoors, the wine complemented the meal perfectly. The collection has grown through various sources; the Masseto from an Italian wine shop that maintains strong ties with several Italian vintners. The bottles were stored in a custom-built stone cellar in their home. What started with a single bottle of Corton Charlemagne one evening ignited a passion for collecting and designing a wine cellar filled with many cherished bottles enjoyed over special occasions.
The score for 2007 Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC is 93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2007 Ornellaia is remarkably open and accessible, very much in keeping with the personality of the vintage. Clean, minerally notes frame a core of silky, perfumed dark fruit, mocha, spices, licorice, grilled herbs and leather that impresses for its exceptional length. Tasted next to the 2007 Le Serre Nuove, the 2007 Ornellaia shows more muscle (from the higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon), but in terms of pure quality the wines are very close. The 2007 is not a big, massive Ornellaia, but rather a wine built on elegance and finesse, both of which are on full display. The 2007 should drink well with a minimum of cellaring, but whether it will make old bones remains a question mark at this point. The 2007 Ornellaia is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot.
