Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc from Madrona Ranch are blended with small amounts of fruit from Thorevilos and Howell Mountain, producing a wine of enormous proportions with a classic structure that is the Colgin hallmark: a plethora of vibrant aromas, voluptuous at mid-palate, with impeccable balance and an exceptionally long finish. A wine as seductive as its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e98James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe aromas of iodine, oyster shells and mushrooms turn to blackberries. Full body, polished tannins and a plush, velvety texture. Gorgeous length and tension. Aftertaste turns to leaves, forest floor and blackberries. Salty and savory. Wow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e96Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 2014 Proprietary Red Cariad, which is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon but also contains important percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, is made from purchased fruit from David Abreu’s vineyard holdings on Howell Mountain and in St. Helena. This wine offers loads of unsmoked cigar tobacco, melted licorice, charcoal embers, blackberry and mulberry fruit, a full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning intensity, impressive equilibrium, and well-integrated acidity and tannin. It is another beauty, obviously coming from first-growth terroirs. This should drink beautifully for 20-25 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n96Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003e\nA big, rich, deep and caressing style, with wonderful textural nuances that smooth out the chewy dark berry, graphite, gravel and black licorice flavors. Most impressive on the finish, which sails along, gaining depth and persistence. Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Drink now through 2038.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Logan, Colgin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43754564026592,"sku":"132461","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/colgin-cariad_1_0f0b31ae-01d4-40bc-927e-14bcdf0dba79.jpg?v=1792096555","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/colgin-cariad-2014-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
