Colgin Cellars IX Estate Red Wine 2003 Colgin Cellars IX Estate Red Wine 2003 Napa Original tissues A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot and the second vintage for this wine. A total blackcurrant liqueur nose. Huge chocolate, velvet taste. Great liquorice finish. With air, it takes on elements of a coffee liqueur! At this early stage, the 100% new oak is flag-flying! One can really see the heat and the small, concentrated harvest. Total terroir. Huge, rich, earthy, intoxicating wine. SS. Lot 1478 5 bts (owc) per lot: USD 500-700 Ann Colgin's meticulously-run stable of wines was first established in 1992 with the Herb Lamb Vineyard. It has now been joined by Tychson Hill, Cariad and the IX Estate, where visitors to her state of the art winery enjoy incredible views over Lake Hennessey. The wines are luscious, complex, very velvety and obviously crafted with enormous care by the talented Marc Aubert. The wonderfully healthy fruit is left to express itself in a very pure, but gloriously flamboyant way. SS. "No. 9 Estate is just that - it is neither "I" "X" nor "ickx"! This vineyard is a special 124.8-acre parcel on Pritchard Hill with a steep hillside at an elevation of 950 to 1400 feet, with a fabulous view of Lake Hennessey. Ann and Joe, together with their winemaker, Allison Tauziet, produce extraordinary wines that are ripe, luscious, concentrated and complex- the perfect expression of the best of Napa. Quantity: 1
