Colgin Cariad--Vintage 1999
Napa Valley
Colgin's new proprietary red wine offering (which I referred to as Madrona Ranch in issue #132 of The Wine Advocate) has been officially named "Cariad" (Welsh for "love"). The fruit for this cuvée comes from Madrona Ranch, located in the northwestern corner of St. Helena. The only exception is a tiny amount of Petit Verdot (ranging from 57 in the final blend) that emerges from a vineyard owned by David Abreu and Ric Foreman called Thorevilos. Colgin, which is already a so-called "cult" wine, seems to have pushed the envelope of quality even higher ... as hard as that is to believe. As always, the truth is in the bottle ... in vino veritas." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 142, 8/02
