Born in England and raised in Ticino in southern Switzerland, Philip spent time in the British Army before completing a degree in Geology. He initially ventured into the oil industry, but grew bored of the corporate lifestyle. His extensive travels had taken him to Algeria, where he was exposed to large-scale grape farming, and he was fascinated by the industry. In 1956, Philip pursued his first job in winemaking in Europe for a large cooperative, but was ultimately convinced to pursue it professionally by a chance encounter with University of Davis professor Dr. Maynard Amarine in Spain. This serendipitous meeting led him to study under the legendary Emile Peynaud at the newly established national oenology program at the University of Bordeaux, where he earned his degree in 1957. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAfter graduation, Philip ventured to Chile, where we worked for a small but failing winery in the Alto Maipo Valley. Eager for a more established and professional experience, he posted a winemaking job wanted ad in the Wine Institute Bulletin, and was soon contacted by Jack Taylor, the proprietor at Mayacamas Vineyard. He then ventured to the United States for the very first time, and helped to produce the 1959 vintage at Mayacamas. His career continued to grow from there, and Philip went on to work for Chalone Vineyard, Gallo, Inglenook, Cuvaison and Chappellet.

He and Birgitta planted their first vines in 1981 (Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay), and produced their first vintage in 1983. The vineyard today boasts a diverse blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, with vines planted across ten lush acres. As you sip their exquisite wines, you can appreciate the Togni familys dedication to organic farming and their commitment to quality.

Aromas of dark plum, boysenberry, cedar and tobacco play with softer, brighter tones of menthol and fennel.

Through its more than 125 years of production, Mayacamas has earned its place as a standard-bearer of traditional winemaking, and the source of some of Californias most iconic and longest-lived bottles. Named for mountain range that divide the Napa and Sonoma valleys, the old stone winery was dug into the side of a dormant volcano crater in 1889 and has remained in production ever since. For generations, methods and tools have been passed from owner to owner, and the Mayacamas style has remained remarkably consistent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwelve Cabernet Sauvignon blocks are spread across the 475-acre Mayacamas Estate at elevations ranging from 1,800 ft to 2,200 ft. There are numerous soil profiles across these blocks, including compressed volcanic ash, fractured volcanic cobbles, gravelly loam, and cobbled clay. The rugged topography and intense exposure result in multiple microclimates where Cabernet Sauvignon can develop a range of flavor profiles. Keeping with tradition, the plantings are dominated by California heritage clonal selection – including from Sees, Marthas, Niebaum, Martini and the Mayacamas house clone. The vineyards have been farmed organically since 2013.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand harvested early in morning and delivered to the winery cold to preserve their integrity. The winemaking team then inspects and sorts clusters before detstemming. The destemmed berries (must) are then transferred to tank for fermentation. For fermentation they use a combination of concrete tanks, stainless steel tanks and oak cooperage. The fermenting must is pumped over and mixed each day to homogenize temperature and extract color and flavor from the skins. Fermentation and maceration (time on skins) is typically between 10 and 25 days – flavor depending. Fermentation temperatures are on the cooler side – maxing out around 78 degrees during peak fermentation. The wine is then drained off skins and the skins are pressed to extract the last remaining wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cabernet Sauvignon is then aged in oak cooperage of various size, age, and origin. 24 Months of aging occurs in large format foudre with sizes ranging from 185 gallons (700 L) to 1200 gallons (45 HL). These are a mix of French and American oak and quite seasoned, with some nearly 100-years old. An additional 12 months of aging occurs in 60-gallon (225 L) barrique and 132-gallon puncheon (500 L) – typically with 10% New French Oak. Total élevage is 36 Months. Bottle conditioned for 1 year prior to release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCabernet Sauvignon blend can vary depending on vintage. In certain vintages the bottling will be 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The vineyard’s soils are a mix of clay and sandstone, contributing to the wine’s rich texture and minerality. The coastal exposure ensures balanced acidity, which is a hallmark of this Chardonnay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1351\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1083\"\u003eVINIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e The grapes are hand-harvested, and the wine is fermented with native yeasts in French oak barrels, with a small percentage undergoing malolactic fermentation to enhance texture and mouthfeel.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with flavors of lemon curd, green apple, and a touch of mineral-driven flintiness. The wine’s vibrant acidity is complemented by a creamy texture and a long, clean finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1809\" data-end=\"2053\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1809\" data-end=\"1827\"\u003eFOOD PAIRINGS:\u003c\/strong\u003e This Chardonnay is a perfect match for roasted chicken with lemon, butter-poached lobster, or a creamy pasta dish with mushrooms.
