Colgin Cellars
IX Estate Napa Valley Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
#AgedWineTuesday
Deep inky in color with a short reddish/ purplish rim.
Strong nose and full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.
Showing black currants, black plums, blackberries, dried figs, dark chocolates, raisins, peppercorn, licorice, light earth, herbs, light tar, tobacco leaf and light barnyard.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 22 year old Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Rich and fruit forward, very complex and entertaining. A fantastic wine.
Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to do so in the next 5 years.
Wine Spectator 93 points. Wine Advocate 97 points.
The high alcohol is well integrated by now.
Elegant, and a great sipping wine. Paired beautifully with my delicious American Wagyu steak.
A blend of 59% cabernet sauvignon, 22% merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. Unfiltered and unfined.
15.6% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
$400.

An elegant wine with layer upon layer of round showy deep red fruit. A sensual plush bottle.

May 11th, 2017In a great place, sticks out in a crowd. Slightly sweet chocolate, mocha nose. Perfect structure and texture across the entire palate. Sweet black fruit, rich and intense. Ultra smooth tannins. If you have them now is a good time to open them.

Perfection in a glass. A hedonists dream. Rich, opulent and dense. Pure maple and jam compote on the nose. The nose carries thru to the palette. So immense. No food required.
