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 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 - Our original estate vineyard, The Haven is located at 1,200 feet elevation between the tiny town of Occidental and the Pacific Ocean. It lies on an east-west ridge and from its south-facing slope, one can see the fog-enshrouded ocean in the distance. There are approximately 40 different rootstock and clonal combinations within this small four-acre vineyard. It is a microcosm of the diversity of soils within the Sonoma Coast. The Haven is very cool and late ripening therefore it is one of the last sites that we harvest every year. We farm it using organic materials and biodynamic methods, not certified.
