The estate’s high elevation and well draining soils allow the Tognis the luxury of harvesting on schedule at the preferred ripeness. Fans of his style will find a wine that speaks of the incredible Spring Mountain terroir with ample fruit and a solid foundation of structure, which will age beautifully for decades.
