Colgin IX Estate Red is the flagship expression of Colgin Cellars, crafted from the estate’s spectacular vineyard on Pritchard Hill, where volcanic soils and high elevation create wines of remarkable depth and elegance. This Bordeaux-style blend, typically composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, is made with meticulous attention to detail, allowing the unique character of the site to shine through. The bouquet is rich and complex, with layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum interwoven with notes of violet, lavender, graphite, and subtle spice.
On the palate, it offers a seamless balance of power and finesse—silky, refined tannins support concentrated fruit flavors, while hints of mineral freshness add lift and precision. The finish is long, graceful, and endlessly layered, revealing new nuances with every sip. Celebrated for its purity, structure, and longevity, Colgin IX Estate Red is a wine that captures both the grandeur of Napa Valley and the artistry of its makers, delivering an unforgettable experience that will continue to evolve beautifully over decades.

Colgin Cellars is one of Napa Valley’s most prestigious wineries, celebrated for its dedication to elegance, precision, and the pure expression of terroir.

Crafted in small quantities using meticulous vineyard care and minimal intervention in the cellar, Colgin’s wines are known for their perfume, freshness, and complexity. Long lees aging, careful blending, and an unwavering focus on quality have earned the estate international acclaim, placing it among the world’s finest producers.
