The 2011 Cariad Red from Colgin Cellars is a masterful blend that perfectly encapsulates the elegance and complexity of Napa Valley’s top-tier vineyards. Known for their meticulous craftsmanship, Colgin’s wines are built to impress, and this vintage is no exception, showcasing the depth and balance Napa is renowned for.

The wine opens with inviting aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a touch of spice, creating an enticing bouquet. On the palate, it reveals rich layers of dark fruit, complemented by nuances of cocoa, tobacco, and subtle earthy undertones. Silky tannins provide structure and a smooth mouthfeel, while a vibrant acidity adds freshness and balance. The finish is long and layered, with hints of vanilla and toasted oak that enhance the wine’s complexity.

Perfect for pairing with rich dishes such as grilled lamb, prime rib, or a wild mushroom risotto, the 2011 Cariad will continue to evolve beautifully with time, making it a perfect addition to a cellar or a memorable wine for a special occasion.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"Saturated deep ruby. Very backward, brooding aromas of blackcurrant, black raspberry and minerals. Richer, denser and sweeter than the Tychson Hill and IX Estate bottlings but youthfully shut down in bottle (these wines were bottled last June and July). Shows outstanding breadth and definition to the flavors of dark berries, menthol and bitter chocolate. Finishes with substantial broad, youthfully drying tannins and a lingering note of bitter chocolate. I would not be surprised if this wine needed at least seven or eight years in bottle to approach peak drinkability." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 93
"Composed of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 6% Cabernet Franc, the 2011 Proprietary Red Cariad exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with aromas of tapenade, barbecue smoke, black currants, sweet cherries, baking spices and licorice. Medium-bodied and fleshy with delicious fruit, it showcases the endearing, upfront charm of this vintage where the wines are well-made. Drink it over the next decade." -Robert Parker

Wine Spectator

WS 90
"Shows a rounder, more graceful texture than most 2011s, with pure blackberry, black licorice, road tar and cigar box notes, holding a tight focus and ending with a persistent, lingering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot."
