Stellar Wine Enthusiast and Jeb Dunnuck Ratings for Cavalli e Vigne, Toyon Farm's Estate Wine Label in Carneros-Napa Valley
CARNEROS-NAPA, Calif., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavalli e Vigne, the estate wine of Toyon Farm, has received outstanding ratings in latest Wine Enthusiast's Buying Guide and from Jeb Dunnuck, American wine critic. The 2021 Cavalli e Vigne Pinot Noir earned 94 points. "The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate brings more concentration and depth, with darker cherry, red currant, black tea, and sappy underbrush and floral-driven aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, concentrated, nicely balanced, and textured, it has nicely integrated acidity, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. I love its overall balance and purity, and even though it's a bigger, more concentrated wine compared to the 2022, it offers loads of pleasure today. It will keep through 2033. Drink 2025-2033," observed Jeb Dunnuck. The 2023 Chardonay followed closely with 92 points. "Aromatics of guava and grilled plantain join with flavors of ripe pears dusted with spices. Midpalate concentration marries mouthwatering acidity through a persistent finish." Wine Enthusiast.
