Colgin's 2016s are off the charts. I can’t say I am entirely surprised, as the wines were clearly brilliant when I started tasting them in Spring 2017. Winemaker Allison Tauziet told me she is leaving a little more leaf cover these days to gain a bit more freshness and energy in the wines. That is exactly what comes through in tasting. The 2016s are wonderfully deep and full of vitality. More importantly, they are outragerously delicious, even at this very early stage.

I tasted a wide range of wines with Ann Colgin, her husband, Joe Wender, winemaker Alison Tauziet and COO Paul Roberts. The Colgin team produced stellar wines in both 2015 and 2016 that were among the clear standouts during the four weeks I spent in Napa Valley in the fall of 2017. LVMH recently acquired 60% of the winery, which, among other things, is a clear sign of the growing international prestige of Napa Valley wines.
