As is the practice at this winery they hold back 50 or so cases of their finest vintages for release after a decade. The current release of their library selection is the 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon a magnificent effort that for me is one of Togni’s six or seven finest wines. Its deep plum/purple color reveals only a touch of lightening at the edge. A glorious perfume offers up aromas of plums figs creme de cassis smoke hickory spice and high quality cigar tobacco. In a blind tasting this California Cabernet could easily be mistaken for a great Pauillac given its structure density richness and perfume. This 1994 is just beginning to move into its adolescence. Even though it has 20-25 years of life remaining it is approachable. It is a monumental Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the valley’s legacy producers.
