Robert Parker | 100 Points

"Another perfect wine, which has turned out even better than I anticipated seven years ago, is the estate wine, the 2002 IX Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot from the hillsides above the winery (one of the most gorgeous vineyards I’ve ever seen in the world). Yields were a frightening one-half ton per acre. Like all of Colgin’s 2002s, as this wine sat in the glass it seemed to change and improve every 20 seconds or so. Gorgeous black/plum/purple in color, much like the Tychson Hill, it offers up a completely different set of aromatics, ranging from Asian soy to damp forest floor to hints of mountain laurel, lavender, roasted meats, a touch of pepper, and wonderfully sweet blackberry and cassis fruit. Some charcoal and subtle barbecue smoke are also present in this extraordinary statement, which has also evolved at a relatively rapid pace. It seems fully mature by most standards yet should hold at this plateau for at least a decade. What is remarkable about all of these wines is that they were aged in 100% new French oak, but the oak has gone into total hiding."

The 2002 Colgin IX Estate is Napa Valley history in a box...the inaugural vintage from Ann Colgin’s visionary vineyard perched high above Lake Hennessey. This crown jewel was planted with meticulous precision: tiny parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot carved into rocky, low-yield soils that yield fruit of extraordinary depth and intensity.

Robert Parker awarded the debut a perfect 100 points, calling it a wine of remarkable richness and kaleidoscopic complexity. In the glass, it evolves constantly - black plum, cassis, lavender, soy, spice, forest floor, charcoal, and smoke unfurl in wave after wave, framed by ripe tannins and impeccable structure.

The 2002 growing season was classic Napa, delivering small, concentrated berries bursting with vibrancy. Now fully mature, the wine shows everything Colgin IX Estate was destined to be - majestic, seamless, and built to last for years to come.

This 3-pack OWC is the only one available in the U.S. and a rare chance to own the very first chapter of Colgin IX’s legend.

✨ The debut. The perfection. The crown jewel. 💫
