THE WINE ADVOCATE: "From Ann Colgin’s tiny vineyard treasure just off of Highway 29, north of St. Helena, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill Vineyard (225 cases produced) boasts an opaque blue/purple color as well as a refined and noble nose of charcoal, graphite, ink, blueberries, black currant liqueur, licorice, and cedarwood. Full-bodied with more tannin and structure than the Herb Lamb, this powerful, rich 2007 will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring, and should keep for 30 or more years."

JAMES SUCKLING: "An intense nose of foie gras. Full bodied, with round and soft silky tannins. The palate is rich, decadent, and packed with ripe fruit that goes on and on. This has a nice finish of stones, rusty nails, nuts, and warm soil. Wow. This is great right now, but will be better in three or four years. 15+25+23+34."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Broad, rich and layered, enticingly earthy and pleasantly herbal, with cedar, tobacco, mineral, graphite and sage setting the stage for a rich mix of dried currant and black licorice, at points chewy and rustic, with grainy tannins on the finish. Best from 2012 through 2021. 225 cases made."
