Colgin IX Estate 2004 750mL Rhone 2006 Schrader - Wine Advocate

2006 Schrader - Wine Advocate #180 - Dec 2008: The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon CCS is utter perfection in Cabernet Sauvignon

usually a combination of Darnajou and Taransaud barrels

and caramelized notes in the nose – adumbrating this wine’s entire performance – is gorgeous

from bottle and double-magnum on separate occasions

Colgin IX Estate 2004 750mL Rhone 2006 Schrader - Wine Advocate"The same could be said for the 2004 IX Estate Proprietary Red, a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot. Deep purple to the rim with sweet blackberry, creosote, camphor, forest floor and fruitcake notes, sweet tannin and a layered mouthfeel, this wine builds incrementally offering up power, but also elegance. It is a spectacular wine from a great site." Wine Advocate, RP97, tasted 4 2014
