Tanbark Hill is their second label and a great bargain. Togni has a special place in TWCP history. We were the first place to bring in Philip Togni wines to St. Louis (so many years ago), in fact we were the only place for about 10 years to stock his wines in St. Louis. We contacted him about about selling us his wines and he said yes. Philip used to call us every year asking how much we wanted of each new vintage.
2019 Togni Tanbark Hill Cabernet Sauvignon....$79.99
It's telling that even Togni's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Tanbark Hill Vineyard—the early-drinking wine—needs a few years in the cellar. The barest hint of bell pepper accents bold cassis fruit and notes of wild thyme on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is fairly open and generous, with enough suppleness to suggest only five years of cellaring will be necessary. Classically styled, it's streamlined in shape and long on the finish, ending with mouthwatering acids and soft tannins.
Rated 92+/100 The Wine Advocate
Inviting, with ripe raspberry and black currant fruit stitched with singed apple wood, tobacco, menthol and sweet bay leaf. Reveals a bit of tarry grip on the finish, along with a cast iron hint, but should round into form soon enough. Best from 2023 through 2034. 530 cases made.
