Colgin Cariad 2012 is a full-bodied, Bordeaux-style red wine from the Napa Valley of California. Colgin produce exquisite red wines with meticulous attention to detail. Cariad is a Bordeaux-style red from three outstanding vineyards managed by the legendary David Abreu. It is a wine of enormous proportions yet exceptional balance with a plethora of vibrant and complex aromas, voluptuous mid-palate and incredibly long finish. The 2012 is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 9% Petit Verdot. "Intense aromas of mushroom, earth and dried flowers follow through to a full body with juicy, rich and ripe tannins and a beautiful austerity. Very contrasty and structured. Balanced and powerful." James Suckling, 2015

A dark, vibrant wine, the 2012 Cariad races out of the glass with serious intensity. The Cariad has a bit more acid and tannin backbone than the Tychson Hill, which gives the flavors a bit more energy and overall brightness to balance the opulence of the fruit. Graphite, spice and menthol notes flesh out on the finish. Cariad is sourced mostly from David Abreu`s Madrona Ranch, with a dollop of fruit from Thorevilos. Historically, Cariad has aged exceptionally well, something that was driven home yet again by the 2002 I tasted on this visit. - Antonio Galloni
