WINE DESCRIPTION

Colgin Cariad is a bold and beautiful Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the esteemed Colgin estate in St. Helena. A deep, dark color in the glass, it offers aromas of ripe, jammy blackberry, cassis, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, intense flavors of dark cherry and blackberry are complemented by earthy, leathery notes and hints of cocoa and mocha. The tannins are soft, yet present, and the finish is long and smooth. Enjoy this excellent expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with grilled meats, hearty stews, or an aged cheese.
