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.
The tasting note for 2017 Domaine de la Cote Memorious Pinot Noir Sta Rita Hills is from Robert Parker and the score is 92 - Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Memorious has a pretty nose of saddle leather, gunflint and crushed stone with a core of warm wild blackberries, black raspberries, red raspberry and spiced cranberry sauce with hints of charcuterie, dusty earth and dried herbs. Light to medium-bodied, it has a very nice interplay of spice, savory and restrained fruit in the mouth, with a frame of finely pixelated tannins and great freshness, finishing long.
