From one of Napa Valley’s most acclaimed estates, Colgin Cellars, the 2009 Cariad Red is a stunning blend that captures the depth and complexity of the region’s finest terroirs. Known for its meticulous vineyard practices and a precise winemaking philosophy, Colgin’s Cariad showcases Napa’s ability to produce wines that are both powerful and elegant.
The wine opens with an enticing nose of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it unfolds with layers of blackberry compote, cassis, and subtle earthy notes, wrapped in velvety tannins that give it both structure and finesse. The wine's integrated acidity lifts its richness, leading to a long, complex finish with lingering hints of cocoa and a touch of toasted oak.
Perfect for a memorable meal, this Cariad pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roasted duck, or a rich mushroom risotto, making it an ideal wine for both special occasions and quiet moments of indulgence.
