Two thousand nine featured an average budbreak and flowering and felt classic from beginning to end, noted winemaker Allison Tauziet. A cool August with foggy days slowed down the ripening process, preserved acidity, and made for more mature tannins. There was a heat spike in early September but then the weather turned more moderate, said Tauziet, who carried out a shorter, gentler extraction as the tannins were easy to extract. "It's a perfumey vintage and we wanted to maintain freshness," she summarized. The 2010s had not been blended at the time of my visit.

Colgin fans will delight in the 2009s and 2010s, two vintages that are fabulous here. The 2009s capture the silkiness and early appeal of the year. They are incredibly appealing wines. The 2010s will probably prove to be even better. I tasted the 2010s from preliminary blends and then in several pure component lots. Let's just say there is a lot to look forward to. There is no expense spared at Colgin, and it shows in these fabulous wines. This is a great showing from Ann Colgin, her husband Joe Wender and their winemaker Alison Tauziet.

Winemaker Allison Tauziet describes the Colgin 2008s as "concentrated, refined wines that started out very firmly structured. During elevage, we had to build their middle palates. Now they are gaining weight in bottle." In contrast, she went on, the 2009s "were voluptuous from the beginning. Their tannins are easier and they will be approachable early." Limited rackings are done here, and Tauziet told me that the 2009s gained in richness and sweetness from lees contact, as most of the vintage wasn't racked until more than a year after the harvest (the 2008s were racked just twice prior to being bottled in July of 2010). The 2009 harvest was spread out over a full month, from the second week of September through the second week of October, she went on, while the 2008 harvest was over by the end of September. One of the keys to preserving quality in 2008, she said, was to declassify a lot of the early-picked merlot that was affected by heat spikes in late August and early September.
