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 score for2012 Caymus Vineyard 40th Anniversary Cabernet Sauvignon is 96 from Robert Parker and this is the tasting note -They appear to be immune to some of winedom’s less than intelligent trends and fads that we see from time to time, and the result is a spectacular 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary offering. Its dense purple/black color is followed by copious quantities of crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, silky tannins, a voluptuous texture and stunning purity as well as length. This full-bodied effort is a fabulous example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a tribute to this amazing family. Amazing!
