Colgin - Tychson Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The dense purple-colored 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill Vineyard exhibits notes of cassis, charcoal and toast in a full-bodied, velvety textured, concentrated style. The tannins are ripe and the wine reveals impressive levels of richness as well as intensity. The final blend is virtually all Cabernet Sauvignon and the wine can be drunk now or cellared for 20 or more years."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Dried violets and berries with hints of minerals and dark chocolate. Turns to licorice and spices. Full-bodied, with wonderful velvety tannins and a long, long finish. This is so beautiful and balanced with an amazing core of fruit on the finish. Wonderful finish. Leave it for about four to five years before opening."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Smooth, rich and graceful, with delicate plum, blackberry, anise and fresh herb notes. Elegant and stylish, this is rich without being heavy, finishing with a loamy berry aftertaste. Drink now through 2022. 200 cases made."
