Colgin - IX Estate Red 2021 (750ml) Metro Cellars LLC99 Wine Advocate Review Date: 03 2024 Colgin's 2021 IX Estate is a rich, opulent example, with layers of ripe black cherries and dark chocolate punctuated by hints of sage and bay leaf, plus some vaguely floral notes (violets?). Full bodied, concentrated, velvety and long, it's another terrific wine that showcases the potential of Pritchard Hill, the investment by the owners and the talent of the winemaking team. (JC) 98 Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: 12
balanced by a refined texture and enduring elegance
Suave with swagger
It’s a wine you keep coming back to as it reveals more and differently
Hand-harvested into small boxes at the end of September
Fragrant notes of yellow pulp fruit
Dark stone fruits and dusty minerality coat the palate for a long
bright cherry red with garnet tinges
My conclusion is that this Folatières is just very backward
Food Pairing: Try with sausage and peppers or truffle risotto
the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Four Flags showed brilliantly
sometimes with violet reflections
The acid line holds beautifully to cut through all this and provide the length and drinkability required
