Since 1992, Colgin Cellars has embraced the ideal of crafting wines of harmony, grace, and precision from exceptional hillside vineyards in the heart of the Napa Valley.
From the release of their first vintage in 1995, the ethos of Colgin Cellars is to create wines of perfume, freshness, and minerality while embracing the diversity found in Napa’s hillside vineyards.
Owned and farmed by Josephine Tychson in the 1880s, the first woman to build a winery in the Napa Valley, the vineyard was replanted with heritage clones of Cabernet Sauvignon and named in her honor.
Esteemed wine critic Robert Parker extolled that “the IX Estate is as close to a viticultural nirvana as I have ever seen.” In 2017, Colgin Cellars became a strategic partner of the LVMH group.

The uncommon story of Colgin Cellars achieving cult status has been detailed in the Wall Street Journal by Jay McInerney, the Financial Times, Robb Report, and numerous other publications.
