Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, Colgin Cellars’ IX Estate Red 2011 represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, blending the estate’s unique terroir with the precision that Colgin is known for. The 2011 vintage, while cooler than usual, has produced a wine that is both refined and powerful, with a beautiful balance of fruit, structure, and complexity.

The wine opens with rich aromas of dark berries—blackberry, cassis, and ripe plum—interwoven with a bouquet of floral notes, including violet and rose. Subtle hints of spice—cinnamon, clove, and a touch of graphite—add depth and intrigue. On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully structured, with velvety tannins that provide a silky texture. The acidity is bright, adding vibrancy and balance to the lush fruit. The finish is long and seamless, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of mineral freshness.

This wine pairs beautifully with rich dishes like roasted lamb, beef Wellington, or a charcuterie board with aged cheeses. While the IX Estate Red 2011 is exceptional now, it has the potential to age gracefully, revealing even more layers of complexity over time. Whether enjoyed today or cellared for the future, this wine is a remarkable example of Napa Valley's elegance and power, epitomizing the artistry of Colgin Cellars.

Antonio Galloni

95 points

"The 2011 IX Estate is another super-impressive wine. Mocha, tobacco, wild flowers, white pepper and incense all meld together in a silky, supple wine long on finesse and energy. Firm, muscular tannins support the explosive, brooding finish. Cool, intensely mineral and savory, the 2011 is vivid and thrilling in the glass, just as the single components have always been from barrel." —Vinous

Robert Parker

"The 2011 IX Estate (66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot) possesses surprising density and richness (then again, it's from a hillside vineyard that was above the fog line in 2011), impressive purity, lots of red, blue and black fruits, and not a trace of herbaceousness. The oak is nicely integrated in this soft, round, generously endowed effort." —Robert Parker

More about Colgin Cellars

Ann Colgin and her team have been making ultra-refined, age-worthy Cabernet and Syrah from the Napa hillsides for over thirty years. These aren't blockbuster wines—they're wines about precision, balance, and what happens when you actually listen to the vineyard instead of imposing your vision on it. Sourcing from exceptional hillside vineyards scattered across the valley. The wines are elegant without being thin, concentrated without being heavy. That's the goal.
