A collector since university, more than 30 years ago, this consignor was on his school’s wine tasting team in England and was fortunate to have access to the university’s cellars to taste and learn about fine wines. He developed an appreciation for age worthy wines and began to purchase and carefully store them. Later in life he became friends with winemakers in the old and new world regions and was able to purchase highly allocated wines through them. He also buys wine from agents and the LCBO and occasionally from auction and all bottles go directly to storage at Iron Gate.
Producer notes - Nestled high in the hills at 1,800 feet above the town of Saratoga lays Peter Martin Ray vineyard, our highest site. This vineyard is steeped in history dating back to the 1920s when stockbroker-turned-winemaker Martin Ray planted the original Chardonnay vines. It was brave to grow in such meager Franciscan shale soils without any measurable topsoil.
When Martin Ray’s son, Peter Martin Ray, took over the farming of this site, he replanted the Mt. Eden clone of Chardonnay in the early 1980s and continued to work the Rixford clone Cabernet Sauvignon planted in the 1920s. The Cabernet Sauvignon is a throwback to the earliest Cabernet Sauvignon made in California. It is taught, vibrant, and boasts refined tannins and singularity unlike any Cabernet other than the neighboring Ridge Monte Bello wines. Small berries characterize the Chardonnay on tiny clusters
