{"product_id":"colgin-tychson-hill-2018","title":"Colgin Tychson Hill 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eColgin Tychson Hill 2018 is one of those rare Napa Valley wines that feels truly special from the very first glance. Built around Cabernet Sauvignon with tiny proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it comes from the historic Tychson Hill vineyard, first planted in 1881, and delivers the kind of depth, elegance, and longevity that have made Colgin one of California’s most celebrated names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine shows a beautiful deep garnet to purple-black color in the glass, hinting at its concentration and class. On the nose, it opens with layered aromas of cassis, black cherry, blueberry compote, red currant, violets, roses, tobacco leaf, sandalwood, licorice, cinnamon, and a touch of dark chocolate.\n\nThe palate is full-bodied, richly textured, and remarkably polished, with intense dark and red fruit framed by finely integrated tannins and lively acidity. There is a striking floral lift running through the wine, giving it both power and finesse, while the finish is long, mineral, and highly persistent. This is a wine built for the cellar and should continue to evolve beautifully for 30 to 40 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTychson Hill lies in a cool, slightly elevated part of northern St. Helena, with vineyard sections that bring together old-vine heritage and newer plantings on a more sloped, north-facing site with gravelly loam soils. The 2018 growing season was notably moderate, with warm days, cool nights, and careful crop management to ensure optimal ripeness and balance. Harvesting was done by hand with strict sorting, followed by fermentation and 24 months of aging in 100% new oak barrels to build structure, complexity, and seamless integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine that deserves equally thoughtful food pairings, such as dry-aged beef, ribeye, filet mignon, lamb with herbs, or slow-braised short ribs. It also works beautifully with truffle dishes or hard aged cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 2–4 hours if opening young, as the wine benefits from air and time to fully show its aromatic detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColgin Cellars is one of Napa Valley’s true benchmark estates, founded by Ann Colgin in 1992 and now widely regarded among the elite of the wine world. The estate has earned a reputation for producing highly expressive, refined, and ageworthy red wines from its prized vineyards, including IX Estate, Cariad, and Tychson Hill. Colgin’s consistent quality has brought major critical acclaim over the years, and in 2017 it became the only American winery named a strategic partner within the LVMH group and a member of Vins d’Exception.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colgin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122462531826,"sku":"FW-7117","price":641.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/isplxlizrn20rhs-2srhxa_pb_x960_1.png?v=1777476159","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/colgin-tychson-hill-2018","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
