- WINEMAKER: Philip Togni
- FARMING: Sustainable farming practices
- VARIETY: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
- TERROIR: Sourced from Philip Togni’s estate vineyard, located on the western hills of Napa Valley’s Spring Mountain District. The vineyard’s volcanic soils, coupled with the moderate climate, allow for slow, even ripening of the fruit, resulting in wines with rich tannins and exceptional concentration.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested, fermented with native yeast in small, open-top fermenters to preserve the integrity of the fruit. The winemaking process focuses on minimal intervention to allow the vineyard’s character to shine through.
- AGING: Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, with 40% new oak, imparting a subtle richness while allowing the fruit to remain the focal point of the wine.
- TASTING NOTES: A dense, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, interwoven with hints of tobacco, cedar, and graphite. The palate is structured, with firm, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors of black currant, leather, and a touch of vanilla lead to a long, persistent finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, or a rich mushroom and truffle pasta.
- SCORES: Antonio Galloni 95 points, Wine Spectator 94 points.
