New World Wine Spotlight: Colgin and Racines Land at TVC

The New World does not need to shout to be taken seriously. This month's Spotlight brings together two producers who have built their reputations on precision rather than noise: Colgin Cellars, one of Napa Valley's most quietly coveted Cabernet houses, and Racines, the Sta Rita Hills project built on a rare piece of California terroir. Both are available now at The Vintage Wine Club, in limited quantities and for a limited time.

Colgin Cellars: Napa Valley's Quiet Cult Icon

Colgin rarely appears on restaurant lists or auction floors without a waiting list attached. The estate's reputation rests on small production and meticulous site selection across some of Napa's most storied vineyards. Two wines anchor this offer: the Tychson Hill, Colgin's expression of one of St Helena's original vineyard sites, structured and built for the cellar, and the IX Estate Syrah, a cool-climate Syrah with the density and spice that has made Colgin's Syrah programme a favourite among collectors who know to look past the Cabernet.

For a guided introduction to the estate, the Colgin Sommelier Box offers a curated route through the range in a single order.

Racines: Sta Rita Hills Precision, Chilean Pedigree

Racines is what happens when a family with generations of winemaking experience in Chile turns its attention to one of California's coolest, most maritime-influenced appellations. The Sta Rita Hills sit close enough to the Pacific that fog rolls through most mornings, giving Racines' Chardonnay and Pinot Noir a tension rarely found further inland.

The range spans sparkling, still Chardonnay and several distinct Pinot Noir bottlings, including single-vineyard wines from the celebrated Sanford and Benedict and La Rinconada vineyards, alongside the estate's Sta Rita Hills Cuvee Pinot Noir. For a guided introduction to the full range, the Vintage Sommelier's Box #25, Racines Collection brings six bottles together in one order.
