Colgin Cariad Napa Valley Red Blend 2010

$675

Colgin Cellars makes perhaps California's most collectible Cabernets - very limited.100 Points, Robert Parker:  "The 2010 Proprietary Red Cariad reveals great intensity along with abundant notes of unsmoked tobacco leaf interwoven with blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit, charcoal and coffee bean nuances as well as a Pauillac-like lead pencil shaving character. This blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 14% Cabernet Franc is one of the finest wines I tasted over the 12 days I spent tasting in Napa Valley in late August and early September. This remarkable 2010 should drink beautifully for 20 or more years."

Two hours of decanting and the vultures feasted on this beauty. It was outstanding and a real treat.

Start by saying this needs more time and could def see it approaching perfection if it ages well. Big captivating nose of blackberries, warm road tar, and hints of violet. Palate bursts forth with smokey ember notes juxtaposition against ripe plums and dark berries. Napa meets st Emilion. The finish is a touch too tannic right now as it masks what will surely be more nuance that currently appear a full minute after sipping. Special wine it will prob be better in 2 + years.

First time trying this big bold wine. Not sure if the decanting is what did it but this was earthy and smokey yet left big dark fruit on the palate. A remarkable blend.
