One of my favorites. Very good chianti. Deep, spicy, with a ripe cherry, leather and oak. — 2 years ago
Wine from the place where Da Vinci's Mona Lisa was born and where probably the name Chianti came about for the first time in 1404. What a treat! — 3 years ago
Nice evolution and well integrated. 92 that pushes 93.
The other wine from the great Napa producer, Philip Togni.
The mouthfeel is supple, round, soft, yet meaty and tarry tannins. Ripe, juicy, rich; blackberries, baked plum for days, dark cherries, black raspberries, hues of raspberries & boysenberries. Black licorice, berry cola, muddy, volcanic clay, herbaceous notes, soft baking spices, slightly, melted chocolate, dark spice with a touch of heat, coffee, dry crushed, rocks, dry stem, dry tobacco, new leather, oak to cedar shavings, volcanic ash, dark, slightly withering, red, blue flowers framed in a field of endless violets, rainfall acidity, great balance, nice tension/structure and a smartly polished finish that last a full minute.
If you own, I would drink over the next 3-4 years before it starts to slide.

Rose.
One of Lisa Toner’s favorites. — 3 years ago
Needs time to blow off the baby fat, better on day 2 actually.
Fruit forward with ripe raspberries & huckleberries with some baking spice, a touch of bark and a a fresh, mineral note.
On the palate this is plush with velvety, juicy, rich tannins, fresh acidity and a nice mineral streak. Balanced & with nice flow.
Unabashedly new world style yet with a good drink factor. — 5 months ago
