Colgin Cariad is a classically proportioned Bordeaux-style Napa red blend produced from selected vineyards in the hills above Oakville, California. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot is sourced from the Madrona Ranch and this is blended with fruit from Thorevilos and Howell Mountain. Colgin is a ripe and powerful Pauillac-like Cabernet-based blend and a 100-point wine according to Wine Advocate (2013).

Vinous
(a blend of 48% cabernet sauvignon, 28% merlot, 14% petit verdot and 10% cabernet franc): Saturated, bright ruby-red. Deeper and darker on the nose than the Tychson Hill cabernet, offering vibrant scents of blackcurrant, graphite minerality and bitter chocolate. At once round and delineated in the mouth, with dark berry and mineral flavors displaying outstanding depth without excess weight. With its very firm tannic structure, this typically Medoc-like wine will need a good eight to ten years to evolve in bottle and may ultimately merit an even higher rating. These vines in Madrona Vineyard in St. Helena were planted on an alluvial fan in the 1980s.
