Acquired in 1998, this 20-acre vineyard, also referred to as \"Number Nine Estate,\" is perched at an impressive 1,350 feet elevation, where rich volcanic soils impart a distinct character to the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003eColgin Cellars Wines: From Tychson Hill to Colgin \"Jubilation\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003eIn its inception, Ann Colgin enlisted the dynamic collaboration of winemaker Helen Turley and vineyard manager \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/collections\/winery-100-point-abreu-vineyards\"\u003eDavid Abreu\u003c\/a\u003e to spearhead Colgin Cellars' development.

Helen Turley's role was\u003cstrong\u003e succeeded by her assistant, Mark Aubert\u003c\/strong\u003e, who assumed responsibility for all winemaking operations from 1998 to 2006. In 2006, Aubert passed the torch to the accomplished young winemaker\u003cstrong\u003e Allison Tauziet\u003c\/strong\u003e, who continues to oversee all winemaking duties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003ePresently, the estate crafts four distinct wines from three different vineyards.

Jubilation is a \u003cspan\u003eCabernet Sauvignon-based style sourced from Colgin's hillside vineyards and not from a single-site as with other Colgin bottlings.

Although the property is just off the valley floor on the western side of Highway 29, the vines are on a steep hillside that benefits from excellent drainage and from the cooler air that rolls down the hill. And of course the hills to the west protect the vines from the hot late-afternoon sun.  The result is typically a vibrant, delineated wine with a floral element, subtle earth notes, firm structure and polished tannins.\"\u003c\/em\u003e — Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003eColgin's first vineyard purchase was the\u003cstrong\u003e six-acre Tychson Hill site in 1996\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cstrong\u003e set on the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains in St. Helena\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The full-bodied palate explodes with a powerhouse of black fruits and earthy layers, framed by super velvety tannins and amazing tension, finishing very long and multilayered.
