A consignor from BC who started collecting about 15 years ago after becoming interested in wine on his first trip to Italy. Winery tours and dinners with the actual producers, owners and winemakers inspired him. Since that first trip to Italy, he and his wife have travelled extensively throughout the world’s major wine regions and have purchased wines and sent them back home to Canada. His wife currently operates her own business in the wine/liquor industry providing him with greater access to some wines. This, along with Futures Programs and a few favourite wine retailers in Alberta and BC is where he sources his wine from.The wine has been stored in a temperature controlled custom home cellar before coming to Iron Gate for auction.
The wine in this lot has a score of 90+ from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -Made with fruit sourced from McLaren Vale, Barossa and Adelaide Hills and aged 12 months in large, old oak barrels, the deep garnet-purple colored 2011 St. Henri Shiraz puts forward quite a peppery, meaty and earthy nose enveloping a good core of fresh cassis, mulberries and warm plums plus a touch of cinnamon. A little earthy, lean and woody in the mouth and framed by medium levels of chewy tannin, it is still tight though finishes long. This was a tough vintage compared to 2010 and it shows in this wine.
