Wine Advocate (100)The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill is an absolutely profound wine, dense, bluish purple color to the rim with a stunning nose of acacia flowers, graphite, blueberry and blackcurrant fruit. The wine is full-bodied and displays a multi-dimensional, skyscraper-like mouthfeel with no sense of heaviness or weight. An incredibly pure, rich, gorgeously constructed wine from a fabulous terroir, this is a stunner to drink now and over the next 30+ years. |

Wine Advocate (100)The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill Vineyard is a rival for the 2012. Opaque purple, with blueberry and blackberry fruit, a hint of incense and subtle toast, the wine has great intensity, incredible richness and, again, a floral blue- and black-fruited nose and flavor profile that is remarkable. The finish goes on for close to a minute. This is slightly more tightly knit than the more ostentatious 2012, but both are wines to taste and drink before you die! |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94)The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill Vineyard has arrived at its first plateau of maturity. Red cherry, mocha, espresso and dried herbs all show the gentle patina of age. The 2014 should drink well for another decade or so. I wouldn't push my luck beyond that. The Tychson opens beautifully with time in the glass, but I don't see it improving from here. |
