WINE DESCRIPTION
The Colgin IX Estate Red is a remarkable blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, crafted from grapes grown on the renowned IX Estate Vineyard in the Oakville region of Napa Valley. This full-bodied red wine has a deep, brooding nose of leather, dark fruits, and cedar, with hints of licorice and graphite. On the palate, the wine is ripe and plush, with a core of dark berry and black cherry flavors, framed by a lively acidity and fine-grained tannins. The finish is long, with notes of toasted oak, baking spices, and mineral accents. This is a powerful, complex wine that will reward cellar aging.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Colgin IX Estate Red is a complex and well-structured wine, with aromas of dark berries, cedar, and tobacco, and flavors of dried cranberry, black cherry, and oak.The full body is balanced and elegant, with firm tannins and a long, velvety finish. An overall fantastic experience that will linger on the palate for days.
