My favorite of the non Togni older CA cabs. I've had a lot of back vintages of Backus at the Phelps Insignia days. This falls in line with the standard style even in a less stellar vintage. Leather, tobacco, bell pepper, menthol. Great aged Cab.

A Delectable milestone. Wine number 1250. ✌🏽🍷

My contribution. Fill into the neck and perfect cork. Great condition could not trump a poor vintage. Not bad, but no comparison to any of the Togni's.
