2021 Jubilation by Colgin Proprietary Red Napa Valley
In keeping with the extraordinary growing season, the 2021 Jubilation by Colgin Cellars is brimming with intense fruits and pure mineral notes of stone and graphite. Vivid aromas of black cherry, baking spices and savory herbs resonate on the nose. Sleek, yet silky tannins glide across the palate with a graceful feel. The succulence of the palate lingers with subtle flavors of cocoa and licorice.
Anne Colgin and her husband Joe Wender have created an iconic wine estate high on Pritchard Hill. Surrounded by the likes of Chappellet, Bryant Family, Continuum, David Arthur and Ovid, this zone has been called “The Rodeo Drive” of the Napa Valley for good reason – its thin, rocky soils produce opulent, long-lived wines and far more than their share of 100-point wines than any other area in the valley. And indeed, Anne and Joe’s “IX” Vineyard has produced 5 “perfect” wines over the last 10 years. “At a certain point, a cult becomes a classic, and if Harlan seems more and more like the Mouton of Napa Valley, Colgin might reasonably be compared with Margaux.” – Jay McInerney, The Wall Street Journal
