Colgin Cellars, IX Estate Red, 2009 Wholesale where higher elevation and cooler

where higher elevation and cooler exposures give Nebbiolo a more lifted

It takes a small mountain of fruit to fill even this half-size bottle

The finish is long and precise

with a touch of earthiness that reflects the Montalcino terroir

sourced from a single Oak Knoll vineyard picked the day before the Glass Fire

Colgin Cellars, IX Estate Red, 2009 Wholesale where higher elevation and coolerBy the time the 2009 vintage was harvested, Colgins IX Estate was already firmly established as one of the crown jewels of Pritchard Hilla site whose combination of elevation, volcanic soils, and meticulous farming helped redefine what Napa Valley could aspire to. But IX is more than a parcel of land. Its a philosophy: precision without austerity, grandeur without excess. The 2009 is the kind of wine that speaks in paragraphs, not bullet points.
