Colgin Cabernet Blend Napa IX Estate 2021
Description
100 Points | CWA
“Colgin IX Estate is our ‘Wine of the Vintage’ among the elite Cult Cabernet from Napa's spectacular 2021 season. Simply stated, this Cabernet blend is a masterpiece, equal to any young Colgin we've judged (including 100 point 2013 and 2007) or Bordeaux First Growth for that matter. The mouthfeel is supremely satisfying with a cashmere-like texture and depth of glorious flavors tightly wound at this moment whilst promising to mature gracefully for at least a decade. A bouquet of violets and chocolate covered espresso beans lead to an intoxicating symphony of black currants, black cherries, and hints of Toblerone chocolate. The statuesque finish includes notes of olive tapenade and truffles.” - California Wine Advisors
Winemaker Notes
“Intense aromatics abound in the 2021 “IX Estate,” revealing a soulful wine with an immense sense of place. Notes of raspberry, plum and cocoa lace together with IX Estate’s telltale nose of sage, juniper, and crushed rock. Potpourri and iron subtly accent the wine’s deeper flavors. Finely polished tannins, with their velvety mouthfeel, meld with the wine’s salivating and succulent sensibility. Structured, yet juicy, the 2021 “IX Estate” echoes the finesse of the greatest of vintages.”
