Colgin IX Estate Proprietary Blend 2009 is a full-bodied single-vineyard red wine from the Napa Valley of California. First produced in 2002, Colgin IX Estate is a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Renowned for its towering aromatics of dark fruits, savoury herbs and spice, this long-aged Napa red comes from the IX Estate vineyard on Pritchard Hill in St Helena. On the 2009. "Composed of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2009 IX Estate exhibits a flowery bouquet with notes of subtle smoke, blackberries, black currants, kirsch and baking spices. Rich, deep and full-bodied, this voluptuous, sensational blend boasts an inky/purple colour. While approachable, it should hit its stride in 4-5 years and last for two to three decades." Robert Parker, 2017
97 The Wine Independent
The 2009 IX Estate is deep garnet in color. It needs a swirl or two to bring out notes of creme de cassis, chocolate-covered cherries, and blueberry preserves, followed by suggestions of cigar box, graphite, red loam, and tapenade. The palate is rich, full-bodied, and wonderfully bold, with bright, slow-maturing black fruits and firm, ripe grainy tannins, finishing long with saline and gentle herbal layers.Lisa Perrotti-Brown28th June 2023
96 Vinous
Full, deep ruby. Deep aromas of dark fruits, spices, smoky oak and flowers, plus a whiff of game. Utterly plush and mouthfilling but not at all heavy, showing serious thickness and high-altitude density to its sweet blue and black fruit, spice and chocolate flavors. And yet this wine's floral element gives it an almost light touch, if that's possible. Some subtle soil tones reminded me of the outstanding Syrah from this site on Pritchard Hill. Finishes with substantial but noble tannins and terrific length.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2019
