2006 Colgin Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard Napa Valley
Producer: Colgin Cellars
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Origin: California
Region: Napa
94(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2009
Inviting aromas and flavors of plum, black raspberry, minerals and tobacco, complicated by hints of smoke and game. Sweet, lush, broad and complex; this really spreads out to coat the palate. For all its dimension, though, there's also lovely mineral precision and lift. Finishes with ripe, building tannins and a distinctly juicy quality. This vineyard was picked last in 2006, in mid-October, and the wine was bottled in August of 2008, a couple months later than the other Colgin 2006s as the team felt that the tannins needed a bit more polishing.
