A Toronto-based collector whose passion in wine ignited while dining frequently in the city's restaurants. He then married a woman from France and spent extended periods travelling around the country, tasting wines from all the top regions. All the wines except the magnum of port were bought directly from local importers or the LCBO. Everything was stored from purchase at the Vintage Conservatory in Toronto.
Winemaker notes - This is the most extraordinary Syrah vintage in our history, and the finest ever bottling from the vines we planted in 2001, with a level of concentration and intensity that comes from precise farming and meager vine yields. Our two-acre Estate Syrah block sits on an elevated knoll with a spectacular southward view of the broader Green Valley below. Though the block of vines sees the sun all day, its coastal proximity keeps it quite cool, providing for an extended ripening season. Its soils are sandy loam with a vein of richer clay above the sandstone bedrock. The Viognier that we co-ferment grows adjacent to the Syrah and is harvested on the same day, not added later to the blend. We harvest relatively early to capture the essence of coastal Syrah - wild aromatics
