Item Description
The winning bidder and three guests will receive an extensive tour of this private, state of the art facility in St. Helena, CA.
A very, very special opportunity for wine lovers.
Robert Parker has described Colgin’s IX Estate “as close to a viticultural nirvana as I’ve ever seen.” Antonio Galloni in Vinous described Colgin’s wines as “simply extraordinary.” Colgin’s wines have received multiple 100-point scores from Robert Parker, with many others receiving 97, 98, and 99 scores, as well.
The 120-acre winery, located at IX Estate, high above Lake Hennessey on a secluded mountaintop in the Pritchard Hill area of St. Helena, seldom allows visitors.
Unlike most other wineries that distribute to retailers, this winery sells only to select restaurants in the U.S., Europe and Asia, with 70% reserved for the 8,000 individual clients on its mailing list. Clients on the mailing list can purchase no more than three or six bottles during each vintage. Not only does the winery sell out its production of 2,600 to 2,800 cases of wine each year, but there are 3,000 names on the wait list to be on the mailing list that will likely take as long as three years to clear.
One of Napa’s 4 “cult wineries” — wineries receiving 100 points from Robert Parker — along with Screaming Eagle, Harlan and Dalla Valle — Colgin is known for producing its wine with neo-classical winemaking methods, small yields, gentle handling, attentive sorting and meticulous blending under the direction of Winemaker Allison Tauziet.
Please make request at least 8 weeks in advance of desired date, dates must be mutually agreed upon, Monday-Friday. All guests must be 21 years of age or older.
