($290) Deep ruby-red. Blackberry, blueberry and pungent smoky minerality on the nose, with a floral topnote providing lift. Wonderfully sweet, lush and deep, with sexy flavors of black raspberry, smoked meat and licorice. Finishes very long and generous, with extremely supple tannins and an almost exotic sweetness. Very silky and elegant wine considering its sheer dimension.

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.

Broad, rich and layered, enticingly earthy and pleasantly herbal, with cedar, tobacco, mineral, graphite and sage, all setting the state for a rich mix of dried currant and black licorice, at points chewy and rustic, with grainy tannins on the finish.
