About Colgin Cellars
Colgin Cellars is the most art-collecting-personality-personally-wine-estate-luxury-combining and auction-record-historically-achieving ultra-premium Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon program. Ann Colgin — the art dealer whose personal aesthetic for excellence and whose professional conviction that the most individually precious and most critically perfect objects deserve the most serious attention informed every aspect of her wine program's founding — established Colgin Cellars in 1992 as the most art-world-seriously-personal and ultra-premium-luxury-Napa-Valley-Cabernet-conviction-driven appointment available.
The Colgin estate sources — Tychson Hill (the historic St. Helena vineyard site where Josephine Tychson established Napa Valley's first female-owned winery in 1886), IX Estate on Pritchard Hill (farmed by David Abreu with the same intensive meticulous attention he applies to Harlan Estate), and Cariad (the Welsh word for 'love,' a personal tribute from Ann Colgin to her most beloved vineyard partnership) — each produce Wine Advocate 96–100 point Cabernet Sauvignon from the most individually historic and most personally meaning-named Napa Valley estate sources available.
The Colgin auction record — a bottle of 1992 Herb Lamb Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon that sold for the highest price ever paid for a single bottle of California wine at auction when it was released — established Ann Colgin's program as the most auction-record-historically-achieving and most ultra-premium-collector-sought Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon of its founding era.
