Tasting notes
(made entirely from the original 2.5-acre planting): Good dark red. Complex, perfumed aromas and flavors of redcurrant, plum, violet, lead pencil and wild herbs. A juicy, intense midweight with a supple texture and no heaviness. Impresses for its balance, not for its sheer size. Finishes with suave tannins and excellent subtle length. Lovely wine for drinking now or holding--and remarkable considering that the vines were just three years old.

The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill Vineyard is classic as well as a pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon’s creme de cassis, tobacco, cedary character. Expressive, rich, medium to full-bodied flavors, terrific ripeness, and surprising tannin and persistence are found in this pure 2000. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. Tel.
