Winemaker Notes: For those of you unfamiliar with our vineyard, we are located at 2000 feet elevation on Spring Mountain, in the western hills of the Napa Valley, so that we are above the fog line in a climatic zone totally different from the valley floor. The ten-acre vineyard is planted as 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine is estate bottled and extremely long lived.

The 2015 was a short crop of only 48 barrels in a year that suffered from drought conditions and was very hot during harvest, which began on September 9th.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a classy, sophisticated wine that shows the more restrained side of the year and this site. I imagine the 2019 will flesh out in time. Bright acids, red-toned fruit, dried herbs, mint and silky tannins convey finesse more than power. I especially admire the aromatics today. I can't wait to see how this ages. "


Wine Spectator - "#14 in WS Top 100 Wines of 2022 - This is very much alive, sporting a wide array of sweet bay leaf, savory and menthol notes, along with zesty raspberry, red currant and blackberry fruit flavors. Built on acidity as much as grippy, tar-laced tannins, this leaves a mouthwatering feel on the long finish. A beautiful version of the throwback style. Best from 2025 through 2040."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a classic Togni wine, meant to be laid down for at least a decade and capable of aging well for 20 years beyond that in a cool cellar. Hints of green olive and thyme add savory nuance to the raspberry and cassis shadings on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is concentrated into a dense, streamlined shape that throws off waves of dusty tannins, buffered by hints of cedar and vanilla, with lingering cassis notes on the finish. 95+"
