The 2011 vintage was a curveball in Napa—cooler, trickier, and lower yielding—but in the right hands, it produced wines with elegance and edge. And few handled it better than Colgin, whose IX Estate Syrah in 2011 is a case study in restraint and refinement.

This wine leans more Rhône than usual—blackberry, violets, black olive, and smoked herbs, with a lifted, savory profile that trades sheer power for detail, structure, and aromatic finesse. There’s still depth (this is Colgin, after all), but it’s wrapped in freshness and spice, with fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish.

From the dramatic, volcanic slopes of Pritchard Hill, IX Estate has always been one of Napa’s most distinctive vineyard sites. And in 2011, the Syrah from this site feels like Hermitage by way of Howell Mountain—cool-toned, soulful, and beautifully age-worthy.

Already drinking well now with a short decant, but will reward another 5–10 years in the cellar. Perfect with lamb, charred eggplant, or a night where subtlety beats swagger.

Antonio Galloni

AG 97
"Colgin's 2011 Syrah IX Estate has always been magnificent from barrel and it is equally compelling now that it is in bottle. Inky, dark and explosive, the 2011 bursts from the glass with blue/purple/black fruit, menthol, cloves emerge from an intense, fruit-driven Syrah loaded with class and personality. There are no hard edges or angular contours in this drop-dead gorgeous wine. Savory notes are just beginning to develop, but ideally the 2011 needs a few more years in bottle to develop its bouquet. In 2011 Colgin was particularly severe with their selection, which resulted in the lowest production ever of Syrah at IX Estate." -Vinous

Wine Spectator

WS 94
"Offers beautifully rich dark berry fruit definition, with pure boysenberry, blackberry and blueberry flavors framed by cedary oak and spicy, floral scents. The flavors are big, yet this is elegant and graceful on the palate and long on the finish."
