Written Notes

The 2000 “Tychson Hill” marks the first vintage of estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon released by Colgin Cellars from this historic two and one-half acre vineyard. “Tychson Hill” possesses uplifting aromas of fresh berries and minerals with a soft, integrated tannin structure. The 2000 “Tychson Hill” Cabernet Sauvignon possesses power and elegance with aromatics of lavender, cassis, and graphite, and a flavor profile of black fruits with a sweet earthiness. Beautifully balanced, the wine is approachable at an early age and will age gracefully.

The 21st Century in the Napa Valley began with an idyllic vintage. A spring and summer free from climatic challenges yielded fruit of exceptional quality. The 2000 vintage was defined by a cool, even growing season throughout, except for a three-day stretch of unusually high temperatures in June. The threat of rain loomed in late August, but the vineyards were spared. Harvest began in mid-September and carried through the third week of October. The wines of the 2000 vintage carry tremendous balance and complexity.
