2017 Colgin, Tychson Hill, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Robert Parker 98

The berries at Tychson Hill vineyard were very small in 2017. a oeThis wine totally required baby steps with the extraction,a said winemaker Allison Tauziet. Very deep purple-black in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill Vineyard leaps from the glass with vibrant black cherries, warm blackberries and blackcurrant scents with hints of violets, dark chocolate, lavender and camphor plus a fragrant waft of rose hip tea. Medium to full-bodied, the structure is taut, restraining all the tightly packed, energetic black fruit layers, with a wonderfully fine-grained texture and bags of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. Still very tightly wound, this one needs time, but it should handsomely reward patience. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 07/10/2019]
