Cariad 2014 Vintage Overview

2014 OVERVIEW

Colgin’s 2014 Cariad is a sumptuous, dark-fruited Napa blend that layers ripe blackberry and plum with hints of graphite, woodland herbs and a subtle mineral edge. The palate is dense yet refined, with beautifully sculpted tannins and a long, energetic finish that shows both power and poise. Already generous in its youth, it still carries the depth to reward further cellaring.

About Cariad

Cariad is Colgin Cellars’ Bordeaux-style proprietary red—its name (Welsh for “love”) and gravelly western-Napa hillside origins hint at the wine’s intent. Sourced from top sites (long-associated with David Abreu) and built around Cabernet Sauvignon with varying proportions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, Cariad is known for concentrated dark-fruit core, fine-grained tannins, mineral/forest-floor complexity and long aging potential.
