Colgin – IX Estate Syrah 2013

A rare, highly sought-after Napa Valley Syrah, Colgin’s 2013 IX Estate brings together the aromatic character of Northern Rhône Syrah and the depth of Pritchard Hill fruit. It earned a perfect 100-point score from Jeb Dunnuck, alongside high praise from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, James Suckling, Vinous and Wine Spectator. Founded in 1992, Colgin Cellars has become one of California’s most celebrated producers of limited-production wines.

Tasting Notes
Deep and expressive, with aromas of blueberry and blackberry layered with violet, smoked meat, black pepper, herbs and mineral notes. The palate is concentrated yet remarkably silky, offering dark fruit, finely integrated tannins and a long, nuanced finish, with notable balance beneath its power. The wine is described as being in an excellent stage of maturity while retaining further potential to develop. Jeb Dunnuck’s recommended drinking window is 2023–2033.

Production
IX Estate sits high on Pritchard Hill above Napa Valley, where its distinctive soils and favorable climate are credited with producing wines of concentration, elegance and complexity. The Syrah is made from grapes with genetic origins in the renowned Northern Rhône appellations of Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage. Specific details about harvesting and vinification are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve at 16–18°C with game, beef, lamb, truffle dishes or mature cheeses. Decanting is recommended to give the wine time to open and reveal its layered aromas.
