Winemaker Tasting Notes
Jubilation is our newest wine in the Colgin Cellars collection. Jubilation is our Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine created with a selection of barrels that display earlier drinking characteristics from our three hillside vineyards. As our vine age has matured and small additions have been made to our original holdings, we had the privilege of increasing our selectivity. Following the blending of our single-vineyard wines, we were fortunate to have a collection of barrels that conveyed the same elegance and complexity for which we are known, yet on a more supple, approachable frame. Jubilation is a wine ready to enjoy now, with the pedigree to age gracefully in the cellar, maintaining the Colgin Cellars’ hallmarks of perfume, freshness, and minerality.

I have purchased wines from the COLGIN team for the past 20 years.  They not only own some of the best dirt, but have developed some of the greatest wine talent and use the most exacting standards.  This is ALWAYS a wine that impresses at EVERY level. - Ian Blackburn 

PS.  We have not had the pleasure of tasting this wine as of yet, but are fortunate to get to sell it and my day and time to taste it is coming soon. I will report back.
