Colgin Cellars IX Estate Napa Valley Red Blend 2010
The 2010 IX Estate is another perfect wine. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by copious aromas of blueberries, cassis, pen ink, asphalt, licorice and subtle oak. Full-bodied and rich but light on its feet, this spectacular effort was created from a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. Enjoy this profound wine over the next 25+ years. Robert Parker

Great showing for IX Estate today, harmonious, concentrated, textural and inviting. Really enjoyed where this was at. Layered. Complexities are really beginning to show while maintaining rich and pure of fruit. Suave tannin, broad, deeply spiced; love the level of integration the oak had achieved at this point

Outstanding wine. Like all of Ann Colgins wines there is structure with finesse. This one will be great for years to come. I wish I could save her wines but I enjoy drinking them so much they never get a chance age for very long.

An almost Bluish-purple color, with blueberries, tobacco, violets and truffle. Beautiful oak notes.
