It’s always a pleasure to sit down with Philip and Lisa Togni, even if that means virtually in our current world. Readers will find a number of compelling wines among these new and upcoming releases. The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a terrific example of the finesse of the year. I suspect the 2019 will be even better, as it has more depth and energy. The sweet Ca’ Togni doesn’t seem to get much attention, but it is one of the finer editions I can remember tasting. I also had an opportunity to taste three older wines from Togni’s library program. All of them were stellar, and reminders (as if that was needed) of how compelling these wines can be. For readers who want to taste fine, age-worthy Napa Valley Cabernets with Old World leanings, Togni must be at or near the top of the list.

Philip Togni told me that frost reduced the 2008 crop by a full 10%, which is very unusual this far up SpringMountain. In recent years, Togni and daughter Lisa, who has been steadily taking over winemaking duties here, have been "a bit less cautious with fermentation temperatures." The result, he says, is more extraction, but one advantage may be that more alcohol is "boiled off." He's now pressing more cautiously, almost immediately after the end of the fermentation, "according to taste."
