From one of Napa Valley’s most highly regarded estates, Colgin’s IX Estate Red 2013 is a Bordeaux-style blend that showcases the power and elegance of the region’s finest vineyards. Sourced entirely from the IX Estate in the Pritchard Hill area, this wine combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a touch of Cabernet Franc, each component carefully selected to bring depth, complexity, and nuance to the final blend.
The 2013 vintage delivers an exceptional balance between rich, dark fruit—blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum—and earthy, savory elements like tobacco, cedar, and graphite. The wine is full-bodied but never overbearing, with ripe tannins that frame the wine’s core and promise long aging potential. Despite its youth, the wine already reveals layers of complexity, from the spice-laden finish to the mineral undertones that speak to the estate’s volcanic soils.
Colgin’s IX Estate Red is Napa at its most luxurious—structured, deep, and poised to evolve into something even more extraordinary over time. A wine for the cellar and for those who appreciate the best the region has to offer.
