Colgin Cellars 'Tychson Hill Vineyard' Napa Valley 2021
Vintage Character
The 2021 vintage in Napa Valley was characterized by a dry, moderate growing season, resulting in small, intensely flavored berries and wines noted for their clarity and balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Colgin Cellars 'Tychson Hill Vineyard' Cabernet Sauvignon, awarded an impressive 98 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, exemplifies the purity and finesse for which this site is renowned. Aromas of blackcurrant, violet, graphite, and cocoa are complemented by subtle hints of crushed herbs, while the palate reveals opulent layers of blue and black fruit, a silky mouthfeel, and refined tannins that carry through to a long, mineral-driven finish. This wine’s poise and depth make it an outstanding partner for classic Western dishes such as grilled lamb chops with rosemary, mushroom risotto, or aged Gouda cheese; its savory complexity can also be highlighted by pairing with braised Chinese beef shank, offering a nuanced culinary experience.
Winery Background
Founded in 1992 by Ann Colgin, Colgin Cellars has established itself as one of Napa Valley’s most respected producers, celebrated for its artisanal approach and commitment to expressing the unique character of its vineyards. The Tychson Hill Vineyard, located on the western bench of St. Helena, is among Napa’s historic sites, with origins dating back to the late 19th century. Colgin’s stewardship emphasizes organic farming and low-intervention winemaking, including selective hand-harvesting and gentle fermentation techniques, all aimed at capturing the essence of the site’s gravelly, well-drained soils. This dedication to precision and site-driven expression has earned Colgin Cellars a reputation for producing wines of exceptional quality, elegance, and longevity.
