A blue chip collection filled with top California cult and fine Burgundy. The collector began amassing Old World wines when living in Montreal and Toronto and expanded his appreciation for California wine when living in San Francisco. Starting his cellar in the late 1990's, the majority of the wines were purchased directly from the winery or estate and were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled private cellar.
2012 Peter Michael Winery Ma Danseuse Pinot Noir from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2012 Peter Michael Winery Ma Danseuse Pinot Noir from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. The compelling 2012 Pinot Noir Ma Danseuse (1,480 cases) is even better than the 2013. Notes of lead pencil shavings, DRC-like forest floor, black raspberry, blackcurrant, Asian plum sauce, rose petal and sweet cherry characteristics are found in this spectacular, multidimensional, prodigious Pinot Noir that should drink well for 10-15+ years. The clonal material probably came from one of the DRC vineyards, so it is not surprising that in this cool climate, with the great fruit purity California can achieve, there is a DRC-like resemblance. 2012 Peter Michael Winery Clos du Ciel Pinot Noir from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 98 points. 2012 Peter Michael Winery Le Moulin Rouge Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 93 points, The Wine Advocate 92 points, Wine Spectator 91 points.
