Sourced from a tiny, six-hectare parcel on the north-facing slopes above the historic Tychson estate, this is a finely crafted, ageworthy interpretation of Cabernet from one of California’s most admired producers. Celebrated by critics such as Robert Parker, Tychson Hill has become synonymous with elegance, depth and a sense of place that stands apart even in Napa’s elite landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2019 Tychson Hill shows a deep, opaque ruby-purple hue, hinting at both concentration and youth. The nose opens with layered aromas of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry and black cherry, intertwined with notes of graphite, violet, dark cocoa, cedar and a subtle, savory minerality.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet wonderfully poised, with fine-grained tannins and a polished texture that glide across the tongue. Dense black fruit and cassis are framed by nuances of crushed stone, tobacco leaf, baking spices and a touch of mocha, all carried by vibrant acidity that keeps the wine lifted and fresh. The finish is long, persistent and precise, suggesting excellent aging potential. Enjoyable in its youth with proper aeration, the 2019 will continue to evolve gracefully for 15–25 years in a good cellar, gaining complexity and tertiary nuances over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTychson Hill is a steep, north-facing hillside vineyard just outside St. Helena, where rocky, well-drained soils and cooler exposures naturally limit yields and intensify flavor. Most of the site was replanted in 1997 with heritage clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a smaller section added in 2014, all cultivated with meticulous, small-lot attention in the vineyard. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, sorted berry by berry, and vinified in small fermentation vessels to preserve site character and purity of fruit. The wine is then aged in high-quality French oak barrels, a significant portion new, allowing the terroir-driven fruit and fine structure to integrate slowly and harmoniously while maintaining the vineyard’s distinctive finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a powerful yet refined Napa Cabernet that shines alongside richly flavored dishes. Think dry-aged ribeye, lamb chops with rosemary, slow-braised short ribs, venison, or truffle-infused mushroom ragù; hard, aged cheeses such as Comté or mature Gouda also work beautifully. Serve at 16–18°C (about 60–65°F) in generous Bordeaux stems to fully express the aromatics. Decant for 1–2 hours in its youth to soften the tannins and unlock the layered bouquet; as it matures, a shorter decant of 30–60 minutes is typically sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded by Ann Colgin, Colgin Cellars has become one of Napa Valley’s defining luxury wineries, renowned for single-vineyard, small-production wines that command global attention.
