Colgin創立於1992年，與嘯鷹酒莊(Screaming Eagle)、哈蘭酒莊(Harlan Estate)齊名,是公認的三大膜拜酒酒莊，座落在加州那帕谷的St. Helena山坡。
酒莊強調小量生產、均衡的水與養分,並且運用生理學上的各種方法使葡萄熟成,並以實驗儀器及釀酒師的味覺，同時決定葡萄是否已適合進行釀製。以最佳產地的最傑出葡萄為原料釀製，酒本身便能散發出不言自明的魅力。旗下酒款主要是IX Estate、 Cariad 、 Tychson Hill 。酒標上的「O」是莊主Ann Colgin嘴唇的形狀，拍賣會上Ann Colgin親自留下口紅唇印的酒瓶也常創下高價。
在Ann Colgin莊主的帶領之下，將葡萄園的潛力特質完全發揮，經常榮獲Wine Advocate滿分的評價，更因此在國際上大放光芒。
WA: 96 Drink: 2014-2044
The opaque purple-hued 2008 IX Proprietary Red, a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and the balance Petit Verdot (also slightly modified from last year), reveals notes of espresso roast, blueberries, black currants and lead pencil shavings. The wine reveals superb concentration and richness as well as a structured mouthfeel. It begs for 4-5 years of cellaring and should drink well for 20-30+ years.
Proprietor Ann Colgin, her winemaker, Allison Tauziet, and consultant, Dr. Alain Raynaud, must be pleased with their 2008s and attractive 2009s, even though neither of these two vintages measures up to what they achieved in 2007, 2005, 2002 and 2001. The 2008s were all bottled in July, 2010. It's hard to believe, but the Tychson Hill Vineyard on Route 29 just north of St. Helena is now 12 years old. 2009 was an overall cooler year, but the harvest at Colgin took place before the unprecedented 5- to 6-inch rainfalls hit Northern California in mid-October. Yields were normal across the board. In case you missed the reviews in issue of 186 (12-23-09), the just released bottled 2007s received the following scores: Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb VINEYARD (97) (the last release from this site) Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill (97+), Cariad (99), IX Proprietary Red (100), IX Syrah Estate (95).
