The 2005 Colgin IX Estate Syrah 750 ml is from the Napa Valley region of California. Colgin Cellars produces exquisitely handcrafted red wines using only the finest neo-classical winemaking methods in concert with small yields, gentle handling, attentive sorting and meticulous blending. The Colgin winery, completed in 2002, is located at the northern end of IX Estate in the Pritchard Hill area of St. Helena, California. Founded in 1992 by Florida art dealers Ann Colgin and Fred Schrader, Colgin impressed critics early on with their Herb Lamb Vineyard, at the base of Howell Mountain, cabernet. Their rich wines have just the right amount of silkiness and supple tannins, driving demand through the roof and a long waitlist for purchasing their wines.

95 pts - Wine Advocate

Colgin is one of the reference points for just what heights mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux varietals, and more recently, Syrah, can achieve in Napa Valley. This beautiful estate and winery overlooking Lake Hennessey is owned by Joe Wender and his wife, Ann Colgin (equally renowned for her auctioneering skills), who are assisted by David Abreu, the well-known Bordeaux wine consultant, Dr. Alain Raynaud, and Allison Tauziet, who has skillfully replaced the brilliant Mark Aubert. As the scores and tasting notes suggest, this was an exceptional tasting. Colgin’s 2006s are among the finest wines produced in the vintage. - Robert Parker

93 pts - Vinous

Healthy dark red. Very ripe, musky, perfumed aromas of red plum, raspberry and olive tapenade take on orange blossom and herbal nuances with aeration. Very plush, rich and fine-grained, if without quite the dimension of the 24 version. But this is similarly broad and palate-coating, with its salty and meaty qualities giving it a strong umami character. Much less fruity and sweet on the back end, finishing with mineral and bitter chocolate notes and good grip. This growing season featured relatively long hang time as the budbreak was early and the harvest occurred at the end of September.- Stephen Tanzer (4/217)
