An Ontario-based consignor, who credits his passion for wine back to a 1982 Chateau Margaux, started his collection two decades ago. His bottles were acquired through the LCBO and SAQ. A long-time client of Iron Gate, he stores his bottles in a custom-designed home cellar that is both temperature and humidity-controlled.
The rating for 2012 Cade Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Howell Mountain is 98 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve comes in a unique bottle that is similar to the special bottle used by Joseph Phelps for their Insignia (which reminds me of a grenade). A blockbuster superstar, this inky/purple-hued 2012 is filled with crème de cassis, blueberry and mulberry fruit that hides any notion of its oak aging. Opulent, voluptuously textured, multilayered and stunningly rich with a finish that lasts 45+ seconds, this magnificent Cabernet should age effortlessly for two decades or more. But who can wait that long? Not me.
