Colgin’s IX Estate Syrah is one of Napa’s most refined takes on the grape—grown on a dramatic volcanic hillside in Pritchard Hill and made with the kind of precision that puts it toe-to-toe with top Northern Rhône bottlings. And the 2010 vintage? It’s now showing all the savory, smoky, perfectly aged magic you could ask for.

This wine brings layers of blackberry, violet, cracked pepper, and smoked meat, with hints of olive tapenade, rosemary, and graphite rounding it out. There’s power, no doubt—this is Colgin—but the texture is sleek, the acidity still fresh, and the finish long, clean, and quietly wild.

The IX Estate vineyard is a rock-strewn, high-elevation site with serious pedigree (also home to Colgin’s cult Cabernets), and this Syrah expresses it with elegance and edge. It’s unfiltered, aged in French oak, and now fully in its window—with structure to age longer, but also enough savory complexity to drink right now with a good decant.

Perfect with grilled lamb, aged cheeses, or anything earthy and roasted. This is Syrah for Cabernet collectors—and Rhône fans alike.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"Saturated medium ruby. More Hermitage than Côte-Rôtie on the extraordinary nose, conveying an impression of granitic minerality to its scents of crushed blackberry, blueberry, violet, licorice and charcuterie. Delivers an uncommon combination of density, energy and definition, not to mention a deeply spicy quality and more obvious iron-like minerality and gaminess than the 2011 version. Still a baby, this remarkable, tightly wound Syrah boasts a slowly mounting, palate-staining finish and perfectly buffered tannins. Exceptional--and built for a long life in bottle." -Vinous

"The 2010 IX Estate Syrah is one of the most compelling Syrahs ever made in California. It ranks alongside some of the perfect Syrahs from Sine Qua Non in Santa Ynez and the Santa Rita Hills. Tasting like liquified steak au poive with blackberry and blueberry sauce, this amazing wine reveals staggering aromas of flowers, bouquet garni, melted asphalt, licorice, pepper and meaty notes. It should drink well for 15+ years assuming you have that much patience."

Wine Spectator

WS 95
"Hard to imagine a wine with more flavor and moving parts, with explosive fruit jumping from the glass. Rich, layered and exotic, this is loaded with tiers of flavor, offering dark berry, espresso, new leather and cracked pepper, then creamy oak, espresso and dried herb. Sails on and, yes, it's tannic."
