The Colgin IX Estate Syrah 2006 is a mature, full-bodied red wine from the Napa Valley. It presents a rich tapestry of black fruit, primarily blackberry and wild berry, framed by layers of mineral and spice notes. This wine showcases a balanced structure and density, evolving with time in the glass. The finish is underscored by robust fruit characteristics, supported by a subtle earthiness. Established in 1992 by Ann Colgin, Colgin Cellars is renowned for its meticulous vineyard practices and emphasis on terroir, producing wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their Napa Valley origins.

Good full red. Sexy, savory scents of plum, brown spices, mint and meat. Plush and liqueur-like, and sweeter than the 2005, with its dark raspberry fruit complicated by notes of smoked bacon, minty herbs, fennel seed and stewed vegetables; this Syrah is animal, vegetable and mineral in the same mouthful. Serious but ripe acidity and suave tannins give this midweight wine lovely shape and a light touch. Still, I find it most impressive on the front half. With its smoky and saline elements, this should match up beautifully with quail or pheasant. (This wine was going through a sullen stage when I last tasted it in 2013, but today it's delivering on its early promise.)Stephen Tanzer1st April 2017
