Lot #394. Colgin Proprietary Red Cariad 2003

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 97 RP.
"My favorite wine of this quartet is the 2003 Cariad, a proprietary blend (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc) that comes from David Abreu-owned vineyards, primarily the Madrona Ranch in St. Helena. Its dense color is accompanied by a big, sweet bouquet of charcoal, white chocolate, spring flowers, meaty, blueberry and blackberry fruit. This stunningly complex, rich, full-bodied 2003 is just entering its plateau of full maturity." Wine Advocate #207, Jun 2013
Provenance: The Waverly Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $1,200
