From 1992 to 2007, Colgin Cellars produced a wine from the revered Herb Lamb vineyard, a north-facing site nestled in a conifer forest on the lower slopes of Howell Mountain. For sixteen vintages, the estate selected fruit from the upper rows of this site for their "Herb Lamb" bottling. The wine from this vineyard is renowned for its charm and perfume, often showcasing notes of blue fruits and mint. The 2002 vintage presents a deep garnet hue, with prominent aromas of blackcurrant and cedar. Well-structured, it is supported by firm tannins and a lingering finish, a testament to the long growing season. Founded by Ann Colgin in 1992, the winery is known for its small-lot production, ensuring meticulous attention to detail. This Cabernet reflects the complexity of its terroir, perfectly capturing the essence of Howell Mountain.
- (this north-facing vineyard was the last to be picked in 2002) Saturated ruby. Highly aromatic nose of black raspberry, violet, mocha and smoked meat, lifted by sexy baking spices. Dense, chewy and thick but leavened by its sheer extract and sappiness. This has virtually liqueur-like ripeness but comes across as fresher and fruitier than the young 2003. Finishes with outstanding length and substantial ripe tannins. Winemaker Aubert says that of the Colgin sites, this vineyard produces fruit highest in phenolics.
