Sourced from the best vineyards in Napa Valley, the 2010 Colgin Cellars Cariad Red is a blend that exemplifies Napa’s ability to craft wines with both power and finesse. With a composition of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Petit Verdot, the Cariad Red showcases the region’s unique terroir through a wine that offers complexity and aging potential.

This vintage opens with an enticing bouquet of dark fruits—blackberry, cassis, and plum—interwoven with mocha, tobacco, and subtle hints of graphite. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with velvety tannins that provide both structure and smoothness, perfectly framing the rich fruit. The acidity is balanced, lifting the flavors and enhancing the wine’s length. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering dark fruit and earthy nuances that reflect the depth and complexity of the Napa Valley soil.

This blend pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or truffle-infused dishes, adding sophistication to any meal. Whether you choose to enjoy it now or cellar it for future enjoyment, the 2010 Colgin Cariad Red is a wine that evolves with time, offering a memorable experience with each sip. It’s a must-have for collectors and wine lovers who seek a wine that combines boldness with elegance.

"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." —Robert Parker

More about Colgin Cellars

Ann Colgin and her team have been making ultra-refined, age-worthy Cabernet and Syrah from the Napa hillsides for over thirty years. These aren't blockbuster wines—they're wines about precision, balance, and what happens when you actually listen to the vineyard instead of imposing your vision on it. Sourcing from exceptional hillside vineyards scattered across the valley. The wines are elegant without being thin, concentrated without being heavy. That's the goal.
