Colgin Cellars
One of the several cult wine estates to emerge in the early 1990s, Colgin Cellars was founded by Ann Colgin and then husband, Fred Schrader in 1992 (he eventually founded another cult domain eponymously called, Schrader). She had then purchased fruit from the Herb Lamb vineyard, hired Helen Turley as winemaker, and they produced the wine at a vintner's co-op in Napa (the 1992-1997 vintages). The vineyard owners eventually took back the fruit from the vineyard so they could make their own wine. With needing a new fruit source, in 1997, she purchased the Tychson estate, remodeling the house and replanting the vineyard to wine grapes for the first time since Prohibition. In 1998, Ann further expanded the property by purchasing the IX estate which is where the current winemaking facilities are. Today, Colgin Cellar produces four wines: IX Estate Napa Valley Red Wine and IX Estate Napa Valley Syrah; Cariad, a Bordeaux blend from select vineyards owned and managed by David Abreu; and Tychson Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
