The red wine IX Estate Red, vintage 2002 from the winery Colgin Cellars has been rated in 2018 by Peter Moser with 100 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot from the region Napa Valley in United States.
Strong ruby garnet, solid color core, discreet brightening to the rim. On the nose oak nuances, hints of cassis and vanilla, ripe cherries and black berries. Juicy on the palate, notes of blueberries, dark chocolate, vivid tannins, seems persistent on the finish, also somewhat port-like due to its enormous power, long length, seems youthful and still in need of some bottle age. Best to leave this wine alone for another ten years.
