2017 Colgin, Tychson Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, USA

Lots of pure berries and sweet tobacco with currants and spices, such as cinnamon. Graphite, too. Medium to full body with wonderfully integrated tannins that are firm and focused, giving this pretty, sculptured form.Better after 2022, but already beautiful.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (November 2020)

The berries at Tychson Hill vineyard were very small in 2017. “This wine totally required baby steps with the extraction,” said winemaker Allison Tauziet. Very deep purple-black in colour, 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.Drink 2025 - 2060 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate (October 2019)
