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 for 2012 Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir - The San Andreas Fault is Hirsch Vineyards’ signature Pinot Noir and is crafted to represent the entirety of this multifaceted vineyard. The 2012 San Andreas Fault has fruit from 19 distinct farming blocks, more than any other wine made from the Hirsch Vineyard. It is the flagship wine from Hirsch, and the wine that represents the summation of our complex vineyard.
The San Andreas Fault is produced 100% from the Hirsch Vineyard. It is aged for 17 months in French oak, with 35% new barrels.
The 2012 San Andreas Fault Estate Pinot Noir was one of the most structured and savory vintages we have ever produced of this wine, and its aging potential was clear from the start. Now with 12 years of age, secondary notes of black licorice, leather and wet stone have emerged. The fruit is still fresh and firm on the palate, yet the tannins have softened and lengthened. This wine is in a beautiful place and can be enjoyed now without decanting.
