Colgin ‘Tychson Hill’ 2018
A wine of remarkable depth and elegance. The 2018 “Tychson Hill” bursts with black cherry, cassis, hibiscus, and blood orange, wrapped in a seductive floral perfume. Silky, unctuous tannins glide across the palate, creating a voluminous, floating texture that feels both polished and powerful.

Colgin ‘IX Estate Syrah’ 2019
A perfect illustration of the estate’s mastery with Syrah. The 2019 “IX Estate” reveals violets, mandarin zest, and tarragon, balanced by savory notes of tapenade, barbecue spice, tea leaf, forest floor, and iron. The palate is silken and enveloping, finishing with ultra-fine tannins and a burst of salivating complexity.

Colgin ‘IX Estate’ Historic Collection 2014
A profound, layered Napa Valley Cabernet that marries richness with nuance. Black cherry, licorice, Provençal herbs, bay leaf, and mineral undertones form a bouquet of great purity and definition. The texture is seamless—supremely elegant yet quietly intense, showcasing the unmistakable identity of IX Estate.
