A Vancouver cellar whose passion in wine dates back to his university days. When he relocated to the San Francisco area he had 50 bottles and within a year he had accumulated nearly 1000. This was partially due to the restricted access to these wines in Canada, combined with the competitive pricing in the US. For these reasons most of his American collection came straight from the wineries, with the balance being sourced from trusted agents and distributors in BC. Everything was stored under constant temperature and humidity control, residing in profession storage until being brought to auction.
2010 Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC has following scores - Vinous 97 , The Wine Advocate 97, James Suckling 95. 2010 Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC has the score of 97+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note -Poured from the special anniversary bottle, the 2010 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is a truly outstanding wine that leaves a lasting memory for those who are lucky enough to enjoy it. What stands out is the absolutely seamless-seamless-seamless (yes, it's worth repeating three times) integration of its many moving parts. The wine magically transitions from cherry, spice, chocolate and espresso in one melodic and continuous loop. It exudes balance and elegance over long, delicious minutes. It is profoundly impressive. Anticipated maturity- 2016-2030. Of all the grapevines planted on the Ornellaia estate, the 2010 vintage showed best results with Merlot, says Leonardo Raspini. Because the harvest was later than usual, the early-ripening grape enjoyed a slow and steady evolution. This year Ornellaia celebrates the 25th anniversary of its flagship wine, the eponymous Ornellaia (1988-2013). General Director Leonardo Raspini and his team decide to celebrate with a commemorative edition of the wine packaged in an etched bottle with gold lettering.
