Colgin IX Estate Red 2013 is the flagship wine from Colgin Cellars and one of the most coveted names in Napa Valley. Sourced from the famed IX Estate on Pritchard Hill, it combines steep volcanic slopes, exceptional sun exposure, and a Bordeaux-inspired blend for a wine of remarkable depth and precision.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, saturated color that hints at its concentration and power. The nose is intensely aromatic, with layers of dark berries, cassis, blueberry, spice, wild herbs, graphite, and crushed stone.
The palate is rich and velvety, yet beautifully structured, balancing ripe fruit with mineral freshness and finely tuned tannins. The finish is long and expansive, and the wine has outstanding aging potential, developing even greater complexity over decades.
Production
IX Estate sits on Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley, where rugged terrain and volcanic soils shape grapes of naturally low yield and high character. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot is crafted in a classic Bordeaux style, with careful harvesting and vinification aimed at preserving purity, structure, and site expression.
Food & Serving
This is a wine for refined dishes such as grilled ribeye, lamb rack, venison, or truffle-rich mushroom courses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for several hours, especially if enjoyed young, to allow the wine to fully open.
Producer
Colgin Cellars is one of Napa Valley’s most prestigious producers, known for highly sought-after, small-production wines from exceptional hillside sites. Since the first vintage of IX Estate in 2002, the estate has earned widespread critical acclaim and a loyal global following, cementing its place among California’s elite cult wineries.
