Colgin
IX Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
Beautiful dark black-purple color. With a bouquet of dark cherry and cassis nose mixed with green veggie, eucalyptus and forest floor. Tastes of dark blueberry, blackberry and currant fruit; smooth and silky in the mouth. Tannic, pencil lead, and spice finish with some heat on the throat. Lovely rich and bold wine.

Off to Napa tomorrow for a big wine dinner from Cliff Lede wines...so had to break out a big Napa cab tonight.
Decanted 1 hour (decent amount of fine sediment). Color is an intimidating dark black/purple. On the nose: blueberry, forest floor, cassis, mint. Taste: blueberry. BlackBerry, pencil lead, currents, spice...nice full silky mouthfeel with a little tannic grip and a little heat from the alcohol(+15.6!!) at the end...drinking nicely but could use a couple more years.

My favorite of LRR25 wine tasting. Dark red and smooth, but bold flavor

A little hot but makes up for it in complexity...seamless tannins and perfect with a dry aged New York strip
