COLGIN

1 – 750 ml bottles each – 3 bottles total

Colgin is one of the reference points for just what heights mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux varietals, and more recently, Syrah, can achieve in Napa Valley. This beautiful estate and winery overlooking Lake Hennessey is owned by Joe Wender and his wife, Ann Colgin who are assisted by David Abreu.

Colgin Herb Lamb Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Chocolatey, blackberry, blueberry, herbal tea, and floral notes are apparent in this densely saturated purple-colored 2001. Thick, juicy, succulent, black creme de cassis and licorice-infused flavors proliferate. Sweet tannin, a beautiful texture, and superb purity as well as delineation suggest this stunning Cabernet may be the best Herb Lamb since the 1997.  RP 95

Colgin Herb Lamb Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

The dense purple-hued wine exhibits classic notes of creme de cassis, charcoal/creosote, chocolate, and subtle toasty oak along with beautiful ripeness, sweet tannin, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. RP 96

Colgin Herb Lamb Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

The opaque purple-colored 2007 possesses an extraordinary bouquet of créme de cassis, bay leaf, and forest floor. It is an exuberant, full-bodied, pure Cabernet. RP 97
