Colgin 2021 IX Estate Napa Valley Red Sauvignon Blanc smoked earth100 Points Limited Colgin cabernet available. 99 Points Robert Parker: "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." 99
