Colgin 2017 IX Estate Napa Valley Red Wine "region_Piedmont" but it is quieter than98 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2017 IX Estate is composed of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. Opaque purple black colored, the nose is quite closed and shy to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal freshly crushed blackberries, mulberries and blackcurrants plus suggestions of dusty soil, bouquet garni, pencil lead and cast iron pan with gentle wafts of sandalwood, cardamom, rare beef and black tea.
