In addition to their power, richness, and fullness, another hallmark of the Colgin wines is the vibrant blueberry, boysenberry, cassis character that roars from the glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe potentially perfect 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon is a totally dry wine, but the sweetness and taste of this wine's fruit is akin to a savory blend of a chocolate-covered, blueberry\/cassis-filled candy bar and vanilla ice cream melting in the mouth. This full-bodied wine is silky, seductive, opulent, voluptuously-textured, and extraordinarily fragrant, expansive, and rich. In spite of this, the wine remains graceful and well-balanced, without any sense of heaviness, or obtrusive tannin or acidity. I clearly underrated the 1994 from my earliest barrel tastings, but the last two times I have had it, from barrel immediately prior to bottling and in bottle, have persuaded me that this wine is one of the most exciting and remarkable young Cabernet Sauvignons I have tasted! It should drink well for another 25-30 years. Damn, I adore this wine!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor my taste, there are five potentially perfect Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines from the remarkable 1994 vintage. The 1994 Dominus, 1994 Harlan Estate, 1994 Bryant Family Reserve, 1994 Colgin-Schrader, and 1994 Shafer Hillside Select are all candidates for three-digit scores. Colgin, whose wines are made by Helen Turley, is a newcomer to the Cabernet sweepstakes, having debuted with a brilliant 1992, which was followed by an even more prodigious 1993. I have had the 1994 on four separate occasions, and the last two times it has been virtually perfect. Moreover, the 1995 is another extraordinary success, although production in 1995 was a minuscule 100 cases. However, proprietors Ann Colgin and Fred Schrader have purchased a 5-acre vineyard near the Grace Family Vineyard, just across the street from Freemark Abbey, so production of what will be two Cabernets will increase in several years.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*Vintage shown in the image does not correspond to the actual vintage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Hammer Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":506812457,"sku":"Colgin97SD","price":698.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/0646\/products\/cabernet-sauvignon-1997-colgin-herb-lamb-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-99wa-1.jpg?v=1605985299"},{"product_id":"1995-araujo-cabernet-sauvignon-eisele-estate-98wa","title":"1995 Araujo Eisele Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 98WA","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAraujo's Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard has become a benchmark.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c!-- accordion --\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI believe the 1995 is the finest produced under the Araujo regime. It is close to perfection. The wine combines extraordinary power and richness with remarkable complexity and finesse. The saturated purple\/black color is followed by aromas of sweet vanillin intermixed with riveting scents of black currants, minerals, exotic spices, coffee, and toast. There is nothing garish about this subtle yet powerful giant of a wine. A Napa Valley classic, it is full-bodied and extremely rich, yet retains its sense of balance and symmetry.

The fruit is distinctly red-toned in 2012, with fewer of the darker notes that are often present in the Howell Cabernet. Pliant and expressive, but with plenty of underlying tannin, the 2012 is shaping up to be a beauty.
