Massive and dense. Thankfully some lift though as well, quite impressive. #colgin #napa

Bastard @Ryan Mitchell convinced me to open after watching what all you were opening in NYC! Ok, he really didn't have to try hard to convince. Velvet smooth after 1 HR decant. Cork was starting to dry out so good to open. Mountain fruit mixed with tobacco and remnants of an old campfire. Ruby rust color in the glass, divine on the tongue. Loving this during a game of pool with @Ryan Mitchell.

An earthy nose with a hint of dark fruit with a smooth palate of meatiness and a hint I the dark fruit. The finish goes on and on.

This is an extraordinary cab sav dominated blend. Incredibly complex aromas Cassis, crushed dark berries, soy sauce, and coffee. The palate has similar nuance with meat drippings making an appearance. Beautiful long finish.
