Colgin IX Estate Proprietary Red 2021
The Winery
Colgin
While taking a decorative arts course in London, Ann Colgin fell in love with wine after taking a sip of a 1961 Chateau Latour. Her degree in art history led to a job as a Christie’s auctioneer where her burgeoning interest in wine was nurtured and blossomed into a desire to establish her own winery. Colgin Cellars was created in 1992 when she and Helen Turley secured a parcel of grapes from Herb Lamb vineyard on the lower slopes of Howell Mountain. By 1998, Colgin owned three vineyards which produced small yields, resulting in exquisite red wines: Tychson Hill, Cariad, and IX Estate. As Colgin is a collector of fine art, there is no surprise that her bottlings express the true art of fine winemaking.
Summary
The Colgin IX Estate Proprietary Red 2021 is a distinguished Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend from the esteemed Pritchard Hill vineyard in Napa Valley, known for its rocky volcanic soils. This full-bodied wine presents a deep garnet-purple hue and showcases an intricate profile with flavors of ripe black cherries, cassis, and plums complemented by earthy notes of iron ore, sage, and hints of tobacco. Its velvety texture is supported by firm, polished tannins, offering a beautifully balanced and refined experience. The finish is remarkably long and complex, revealing layers of minerality and cocoa. The blend consists of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot.
