An Ontario-based consignor who has carefully monitored and maintained his wine collection. He has a deep appreciation for Bordeaux but holds a special love for California wines, spending considerable time in Napa. He sourced his bottles from the LCBO, SAQ and some Alberta wine retailers, and directly from California wineries. All bottles were stored in immaculate conditions in his Eurocave wine cabinets, which are both temperature and humidity controlled.
2013 MacDonald Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2013 MacDonald Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville from Decanter - with a score of 100. A brooding bouquet of fragrant black cherry, bitter chocolate and rich soil tones is followed on the palate by a layered, three-dimensional wine of massive proportions. While this is an undeniably ripe Cabernet Sauvignon, both new oak and alcohol are nicely integrated by the richly savoury tannins of the vintage. 2013 was the first year when Graeme MacDonald had control over the farming of his family's parcel of the historic To Kalon vineyard, one of Napa Valley's greatest terroirs, which he cultivates organically..
