chalk dust and salt flakes

Dense and savoury on the palate with firm tannins and concentrated spicy notes

There's good depth to the fruit

fresh flowers

Pure Castiglione charm radiates from this playful yet serious beauty

2021 | Colgin Cellars IX Estate Red | Napa Valley Les Granges chalk dust and salt flakesColgin'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. 99 Pts Wine Advocate
