Prior to starting his collection this consignor was a chef and learned a lot about wine and its ability to enhance the dining experience from some of the sommeliers he worked with. He trained in classical French and Italian cuisine and much of his collection consists of California Cabernets and full- bodied Italian wine to pair with meat-centric dishes. He purchased hi wine from the LCBO and larger Ontario agencies and it was always stored in a temperature-controlled cellar.
Winemaker notes- A beautiful nose of ripe plum, raspberry, and cassis with a touch of cedar and vanilla. The mouth is layered with intense flavors of black cherries, red currants, and berry jam. Ripe tannins focus the palate and provide a lengthy finish of spice and red fruit. The Truchard Estate Vineyard is located in the Carneros region of the Napa Valley. It is 400 acres of hills and valleys which contain a variety of soils- clay, shale, sandstone, limestone, volcanic ash and rock. The combination of terrain, geology, and marine-moderated temperatures, provides ideal conditions for wine-growing. Cabernet Sauvignon is planted in several different sites - on steep, southwestern facing hillsides. The vines range from 22 - 44 years old, and produce wines that are deep in color, dominated by lush flavors of plum, berry, and spice. Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec are blended in to provide additional softness, structure, and complexity.
