Antonio Galloni, September 2024, Score: 98
The 2021 IX Estate is such an elegant wine. Sleek, aromatic and refined, the 2021 is one of the most polished young wines I have tasted from this site. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal and mint abound. Silky and delineated, the 2021 is exceptionally beautiful and balanced. Clean aline notes and veins of tannin extend the explosive, sublime finish. Drink 2027-2041.

Wine Advocate, September 2024, Score: 99
Colgin's 2021 IX Estate is a rich, opulent example, with layers of ripe black cherries and dark chocolate punctuated by hints of sage and bay leaf, plus some vaguely floral notes (violets?). Full-bodied, concentrated, velvety and long, it's another terrific wine that showcases the potential of Pritchard Hill, the investment by the owners and the talent of the winemaking team. Drink 2025-2045.

Goedhuis Waddesdon, October 2024
The IX Estate is Colgin’s calling card and the 2021 sits at the top of the very best that Napa Valley has to offer. Two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a deep thinker of a wine, showing layer upon layer of rich black fruit, floral delicacy, and sweeter notes of cedar and vanilla. The palate shows tremendous poise, where the concentration of blackcurrant fruit and oak-infused toastiness is balanced out by fine-grained tannins and a restorative ripple of freshness. California don’t do classification systems, but if they did, there is no doubt that Colgin Cellars would be classified a First Growth. Drink 2025-2045.
Region
Napa Valley
This small town north of San Francisco has grown up to be one of California’s most famous wine regions. It is home to opulent Cabernets and sweetly-spiced Zinfandels, grown across many sub-regions including Stags Leap, Rutherford, Oakville and others. Cooling ocean fogs roll in from the Pacific at night and burn off in the summer sunshine, keeping the region cooler than you would expect for its latitude, and help produce some of the best Californian wines. Napa wines have the concentration and structure to age magnificently.
