We dry farm (so without irrigation) the vineyard ourselves using organic practices. Our first vintage was 1983, made with our original vines planted in 1981.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe current vineyard was planted between 1985 and 1997. The vineyard is planted with 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot so this is the varietal composition of the Philip Togni Vineyard Cabernet. The main scion wood came from two famous old vineyards on Napa Valley hillsides, with a small area budded with clone 337.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRootstocks are primarily 110R, with small amounts of 3309, 420A and 1103. The steepest, rockiest vineyard blocks are used to make our Philip Togni Vineyard Cabernet, with the remaining blocks going into our estate bottled second wine, Tanbark Hill Vineyard.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarvest began on September 24th in 2019. The grapes, which were picked at 24 to 25 degrees Brix, were sorted, gently destemmed and minimally crushed, cold soaked for 3 days and then inoculated with Montrachet yeast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a twenty day fermentation, where the temperature reached the high 80Fs, the skins were gently pressed, the wine was racked off its gross lees, and then moved into French barrels from the coopers Nadalie and Taransaud, with 40% of the wine going into new barrels and the remainder into one-year old barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalolactic fermentation took place in barrel during the month of November. The wine was then racked every three months before being bottled in July of 2021. 1078 cases were made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Togni Vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a small, family-owned\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/regions-napa+valley\" title=\"Napa Valley Wine Region\"\u003eNapa Valley\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewine producer, focused on producing high-quality wine from Cabernet Sauvignon.

This wine has strong characteristics of Spring Mountain, quite tannic in its youth but shows its elegance with age. For the impatient, the second label Tanbark Hill is a Cabernet Sauvignon produced from younger vines on the property, and is more approachable in its youth. Additionally, there is a sweet wine in the style of Constantia called Ca' Togni. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/angrywinemerchant.com\/collections\/philip-togni-vineyard\" title=\"togni wine\"\u003eTogni Wine\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLike the classified growths of Bordeaux, Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon shows its finesse in cellaring potential and outstanding quality every vintage.
