About Colgin
Founded in 1992 by Ann Colgin and Joe Wender, Colgin Cellars quickly soared to the very top of wine production in Napa Valley. The epitome of their holdings is their Colgin IX vineyard which is located in the Pritchard Hill area overlooking Lake Hennessy at an elevation of 350metres above sea level. This magical vineyard, contains rare volcanic soils that a a result of an ancient lava flow and has been dubbed by Robert Parker, Wine Advocate as ‘close to a viticultural nirvana as I have seen’

Vinous (97)The 2011 Syrah IX Estate is another stellar wine in this retrospective at Colgin. Deep and quite potent, the 2011 has so much going on. A rush of dark cherry, plum, licorice and dried herbs hits the palate, with a whole range of lavender, black pepper and sage that develop in the glass. In many vintages, the IX Syrah is more a wine of place, but in 2011, the varietal Syrah character is front and center. The 2011 is just starting to show signs of aromatic development. It has enough class and presence to continue to drink beautifully for another 10-15 years, if not longer. |
