keeping a good balance between the fruity expression of the Tempranillo and the toast and aromas of the oak

2021 | Colgin Cellars IX Estate Red | Napa Valley Les Granges it exudes a tantalizing blushColgin'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 Pts Wine Advocate
