Wine connoisseur and critic, Robert Parker considers IX Estate "as close to a viticultural nirvana as I have ever seen. " The Wine Advocate Issue 150. This twenty acre vineyard in the Pritchard Hill area of Napa Valley has been carved out of the rugged, rocky terrain of a one hundred and twenty acre hillside parcel that comprises IX Estate and is also home to Colgin's gravity fed winemaking facility. The low yielding vineyard overlooks Lake Hennessey and at 900-1400 feet the elevation insures a cooler than average temperature which gently ripens the fruit and preserves many subtle nuances in flavors. This site specific climate and terroir coupled with rigorous selection and neo-classical winemaking give the IX Estate Napa Valley Red Wine an unheralded complexity.
| Review |
| Colgin’s 2016s are off the charts. I can̵7;t say I am entirely surprised, as the wines were clearly brilliant when I started tasting them in Spring 2017. Winemaker Allison Tauziet told me she is leaving a little more leaf cover these days to gain a bit more freshness and energy in the wines. That is exactly what comes through in tasting. The 2016s are wonderfully deep and full of vitality. More importantly, they are outragerously delicious, even at this very early stage. - From Napa Valley’s Extraordinary 2016 Cabernets - Part 1 (Dec 2018) by Antonio Galloni |
