Colgin Cellars was established by Ann Colgin in 1992. Initially, she crafted her early vintages from vineyards near the base of the Howell Mountains in Napa Valley. Later, she acquired land on Tychson Hill and enlisted the renowned viticulturist David Abreu to oversee vineyard planting. The Cariad Red Wine is the result of a blend of grapes from three vineyards, typically featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. The 2005 a result of a cooler vintage shows notes of sweet black cherries and blueberry and raspberry with hints of black olive and Provençale herbs. The finish is balanced by gravely acidity and soft layered tannins. Drinking now, this wine will continue to age beautiful until at least 2040.

The Cariad is the most severe of the 2005s. Early signs of aromatic development are just starting to appear, but the 2005 remains quite backward, dense and brooding. There is an element of explosive energy in the 2005 that I find especially appealing. Hints of rose petal, mint, cherries, smoke and white pepper gradually unfurl in the glass, but 2005 still hasn't hit its stride.
