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.
The rating for 2013 Littorai Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is 92 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Littorai’s 2010 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard is remarkably weightless and gracious in this vintage, most likely because of the inclusion of 25% whole clusters. Dried cherries, tobacco, savory herbs, autumn leaves, licorice and herbs all take shape in the glass. The Hirsch is undeniably beautiful, but the stem component is not as seamlessly integrated as it is in the very best other wines in this range, which might be an issue for some palates more than others. There is no shortage of distinctiveness, though.
