I've heared of Togni but have never tried any of his wines. I just recieved a bottle and wondering if i should hold for a while or enjoy in it's youth.....any advice based on the winery's track record??

I have been buying Togni's wines since the 1984 vintage. They are large styled with significant tannins. I currently own the 2000 and 2001. The '00 is still tight, but with huge fruit. Haven't tasted the '01 as yet, but will this week out of curiosity. He called me personally to tell me how great he thought the '01 was.

Thanks Mark.....If and when you open that 2001 Togni, let us know what you think

IMO Togni has been and is one of the finest cab producers in california. If you can store it properly and don't mind waiting, I would suggest holding on to it for five to ten years. If not or you are too curious, go ahead and drink it. At this point you probably could buy more without too much difficulty. If you do drink it, let us know how it is!
