Colgin

"The longer the 2003s stayed in the tank, the sweeter they got," noted winemaker Mark Aubert."The phenolic material was there in the first place but the wines just kept getting better and better, not to mention darker."Total maceration times for the outsized cabernet-based wines of Ann Colgin and Joe Wender are now between 50 and 60 days.As of the beginning of March, the young 2003s had not yet been racked, and Aubert anticipated racking them only in preparation for the bottling, as he did with the 2002s.My early look at the 2003s suggests that they will be more tannic and oaky than the 2002s, but it's entirely possible that some of their woodiness will be absorbed during their final months of elevage.Aubert noted that the 2002s possess a somewhat cooler fruit character and show less evidence of surmaturite than the 2003s despite their thoroughly ripe tannins.These are some of California's richest and most massive red wines.
