    The 2017 IX Estate really speaks to the essence of this site high above Lake Hennessey. Rich, ample and full-bodied, with tremendous mineral and savory intensity, the 2017 has so much to offer. Graphite, menthol, licorice, espresso, spice, black cherry and plum emerge with some reluctance, but it is the wine's explosive energy that stands out most. The 2017 is a potent, brooding wine that clearly demands patience. Today, its mountain structure is especially evident.

  • Wine Advocate, November 2020, Score: 98

    The 2017 IX Estate is composed of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. Opaque purple-black colored, the nose is quite closed and shy to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal freshly crushed blackberries, mulberries and blackcurrants plus suggestions of dusty soil, bouquet garni, pencil lead and cast-iron pan with gentle wafts of sandalwood, cardamom, rare beef and black tea. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house, strutting incredibly ripe yet super firm tannins, and it has lovely, uplifting freshness to help define all those black fruit and savory layers, finishing with epic length. Needs time, but this should turn out to be incredibly nuanced and long lived! Drink 2025-2060.

    In the glass, concentrated fruits quiver under the surface. These smouldering dark fruits are wrapped in savoury herbs, minerals and exotic spice. A wonderfully fragrant style, this 2018 is highly aromatic and captivates the senses. Its seductive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot delivers a powerful character that totally transfixes with its astounding complexity. It contains a tapestry of flavours: ripe blueberries, red and black currants, mocha, dark Peruvian chocolate and black cherry are woven into umami, truffle, turmeric root, granite and graphite minerals. We love the mouth-watering salinity on the finish and arresting freshness. The multi-faceted textures on the palate are fascinating. Silky smooth yet mouth coating with grainy ripe, sweet tannins that flow into an imposing and powerful structure. The combination makes for an ethereal yet chiselled wine that is truly mesmerising.

  • Antonio Galloni, November 2020, Score: 99

    The 2018 IX Estate is dense, powerful and brooding. Inky dark fruit, gravel, smoke, spice infuse the IX Estate with tremendous character. All of the savory intensity that is typical of this site comes through, and yet the richness of the fruit is palpable. Readers will find an exciting, viscerally thrilling wine that hits all the right notes. In 2018, the IX Estate is truly lights out. It is also the darkest and most concentrated of the three Cabernet Sauvignon wines... This is an utterly magnificent set of wines from Colgin. Drink 2024-2043.

  • Wine Advocate, November 2020, Score: 100

    The 2018 IX Estate is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Very deep purple-black colored, it needs a little coaxing to reveal earth and mineral scents of iron ore, tilled soil, forest floor and truffles with ripe red and black currants, kirsch, Black Forest cake and mulberries plus nuances of tar, lilacs and Sichuan pepper. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, the palate has a rock-solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and exhilarating freshness supporting the taut, muscular fruit. Mineral and savory accents linger long into the epic finish. A thought-provoking, pensive, mesmerizing wine. Drink 2024-2064.

  • Jeb Dunnuck, January 2021, Score: 100

    Another perfect wine, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon IX Estate is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with 14% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, all from the estate on Pritchard Hill. A monster of a wine that needs serious bottle age, it reveals a dense purple hue as well as a mineral-drenched bouquet of pure crème de cassis, charcoal, spring flowers, tobacco, and earth. Just incredible on the palate, it’s full-bodied and flawlessly balanced, with remarkable purity and a finish that won’t quit. Cabernet – or red wine for that matter – doesn’t get any better! It needs a solid 5-7 years of bottle age. but this legendary wine will see its 50th birthday in fine form. Drink 2026-2068.

    A huge, dark wine, the 2014 IX Estate exudes full-throttle intensity and richness, with big mountain tannins that give the wine its overall shape and feel. Huge swaths of mineral-drenched fruit make a strong first impression as this dark, brooding wine gradually shows its personality. Graphite, sage and grilled herbs envelop a core of intense fruit. A wine of volume and breadth, the 2014 IX Estate is going to take at least a few years to come into its own. 97/100. Date 2022-2034.

MORE ABOUT COLGIN CELLARS

This renowned Napa estate in St Helena is one of California’s best. Specialising in ultra-premium tiny production, their impeccable reputation is rooted in four wines: Tychson Hill Cabernet Sauvignon; Cariad Napa Valley red; IX Estate Napa Valley red and IX Estate Syrah. The total production of all four wines is less than 2,600 cases each year which means global demand by far outweighs the quantity of wine produced. In 2005 Robert Parker crowned Colgin Cellars as “One of the Fifty Greatest Wine Estates in the World” and this still stands today. The ethos of Colgin is to create wines of perfume, freshness and minerality while embracing the diversity of the unique and ancient hillside soils. Each vineyard benefits from volcanic terroir and perfect elevation, as well as the cooling influence of air flow and its position just below the fog line. The estate was one the first in the region to adopt the Burgundian approach and plant vines on the mid-slope where the soils are rich in mineral deposits. This proved to be transformative, producing wines of such astounding complexity that they became some of the most desirable in the region and it is still what sets them apart from any competition today. Colgin Cellars’ legendary status has been sealed by its inclusion as one of LVMH’s ‘Vins d’Exception’, alongside the Bordeaux and Burgundy powerhouses of Château Cheval Blanc, Château d’Yquem, and Domaine du Clos de Lambrays. The only New World producer in this renowned group, Colgin Cellars shares with them an obsessive drive to sustain flawless quality, perfect expression of terroir and nuance of character throughout their wines’ extensive lifespans. Goedhuis is proud to now be a direct partner of this famous address and to represent their inimitable range of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah wines.
