Colgin Cellars - Napa Valley 'IX Estate Syrah' Red 2019

Wine Region:Napa Valley - USA

Grape: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot

Tasting notes:The 2019 “IX Estate” Syrah shines with glimmering notes of violets, mandarin zest, and tarragon. Underlying savory layers of tapenade, barbecue spice, and tea leaves accentuate the soil-driven notes of forest floor and iron. A silken, enveloping texture unfolds across the palate finishing with super fine tannins and a burst of salivating flavors.

Expert ratings:James Suckling 98/100
