Our “IX Estate” is a powerful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.“IX Estate” is a wine of great power with towering aromatics of dark fruits, savory herbs, and spice. First produced in 2002, “IX Estate” can be enjoyed in youth and ages gracefully for years to come. 2011generousBlackberry, black olive, rosemary, sage, fresh*CLOSETASTING NOTESThe 2011 "IX Estate" bursts with freshness and black fruits. The benefit of a cooler growing season is that it preserves the nuanced flavors in the fruit. Rosemary, sage, cracked pepper, black olive, combined with the inherent flavors of the site--iron, crushed rock, juniper berry, and bay leaves--all contribute to the wine's aromatic complexity. The elegant texture is incredibly appealing with its silky, round tannins, paving the way to a smooth finish. As the wine matures in the bottle, it will have the same aging curve of the other vintages of the "IX Estate." The natural acidity in 2011 will no doubt add longevity to the wine, preserving it for decades.CLIMATIC CONDITIONSThere is enormous beauty to be found in the 2011 vintage. With a wet start to the season, we had a significant advantage in that each of our sites is planted on hillsides with well-draining, rocky soils. Given the wet spring, we experienced one of our latest blooms on record, in June. The summer followed with relatively mild temperatures during which we worked diligently in the vineyard to reduce the canopy and bring the vines into balance. At veraison in late August, we removed enough clusters to ensure a consistent, even ripening. We began our harvest the final week in September and picked virtually all of our Merlot and Syrah in this period. We picked the Cabernet Sauvignon the second half of October and our conscientious team ensured only the most pristine berries were sorted into the fermentation tanks. The wines were made with a slightly more delicate hand in order to capture their freshness and respect the fruit. The resulting wines of the 2011 vintage are brilliantly aromatic. They have round tannin and are bolstered by a bright, balanced level of acidity. The flavors of each site truly stand out in this vintage, and the quality of the wines is a testament to the quality of the sites upon which they are grown. “Year in, year out, [Colgin’s wines] are some of the most spectacular, singular, and compelling wines made in the world…There’s nothing over the top and they shine for their elegance, complexity, and nuance just as much as for their considerable richness and power. Life is too short to not try these wines at least once!”••••Robb Report #wineboxes#winecrate#napavalley#catenazapata#winecarrier#winedecor#winecellar#cellardecor#wine #winelover #vino #winetasting #winetime #winelovers #food #instawine #redwine #winestagram #winery #beer #wineoclock #vin #sommelier #love #vinho #foodporn #winelife #instagood #whitewine #cocktails #drinks #bar #wein #italy #foodie #wineporn #drink#champagne #cheers #wines #travel #instafood #vineyard #dinner #italianwine #italia #friends #winebar #summer #winecountry #cocktail #party #photooftheday #art #photography #alcohol #picoftheday #happyhour #nature #winemaker #vinoitaliano #gin #music #foodlover #yummy #chardonnay #winewinewine
