Colgin Tychson Hill 2015 is a Cabernet Sauvignon from an historic vineyard on the northern tip of the Napa Valley. Planted on soils of weathered volcanic rock and iron-red stones, this vineyard was originally planted in the 19th century by Josephine Tychson - the first woman to build a winery in the Napa Valley. The vineyard was replanted with with heritage clones of Cabernet Sauvignon in the mid 1990s by Ann Colgin. Full-bodied yet supremely elegant and with a seductive Cabernet perfume, this is still a young wine, but is nevertheless expressive and vibrant, with layers of sweetly spiced black fruit, earth and lavender-like balsamic notes. A wine to enjoy now or to cellar for another two decades.
