While studying economics at UCLA, the consignor frequently spent weekends and holidays exploring nearby wine regions such as Santa Barbara, Napa, and Sonoma. Upon returning to Canada, he joined Janet Webb (J. Webb Wine Merchant), where his journey as a collector began. He had the good fortune of acquiring wine through the shop and, later, during his time operating Highlander, enjoyed access to an extraordinary range of wines. His travels took him to nearly every major wine region, and he consistently brought back bottles to add to his collection. His cellar was maintained across his home, his company’s warehouse, and several EuroCaves, all temperature-controlled.

This is the tasting note for 2012 Casanova di Neri Cerretalto Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Robert Parker - with a score of 98 points. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto offers a prolonged, flowing and carefully massaged drinking experience that drapes over the senses with some studied intensity and lots of intriguing complexity. This wine nails that perfect balance between power and elegance (that elusive exchange that so many winemakers hope to achieve) with effortless precision. Bold cherry fruit and spice are tightly woven together. In the mouth, the wine shows texture, depth and succulence. Generally speaking, this is not my favorite vintage in Montalcino, but this wine suddenly made me forget that thought..
