This stunning wine from Philip Togni Vineyards has historically represented their 'younger vines' combined with less cellar-aging oriented barrels of the Philip Togni Vineyard. What's lovely and delicious and humorous all at the same time is that now, nearly thirty years later, this Spring Mountain District handmade benchmark Cabernet shows remarkable depth, fruit, structure, and age-worthiness if you're inclined to set some down in the Cellar. Grill something wonderful, or pair with braised lamb or roast beef. A very special treat at a remarkable price.

Details

Vines are planted at 2000 feet elevation near the top of Spring Mountain in the western hills of the Napa Valley.

From the winery: Forty years ago, we made our first wine from our vineyard near the top of Spring Mountain. The 1983 Philip Togni Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is still a vibrant confirmation of the merits of our soil and microclimate.

Now we are happy to offer our 2021 Cabernet. After the disappointment of not releasing wines from 2020 because of smoke taint, and after the very real challenges of recovering from the Glass fire which burned some of our land, we’re pleased to be able to offer the excellent 2021, a wine made very much in the tradition of our past wines - elegant, food friendly and very long lived. Antonio Galloni has written, “The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is an outrageously beautiful wine also one of the wines of the year. A soaring, exotic bouquet makes a strong opening statement. Pliant and creamy, with mind-blowing textural finesse, the 2021 dazzles from start to finish. Hard candy, mint, lavender, Kirsch and spice linger on the close. The mind-blowing purity and exceptional finesse.” (Vinous, Dec. 2023, 99 points.)

We bought this land at 2000 feet elevation on Spring Mountain, on the western side of the Napa Valley, in 1975 and began planting our now ten-acre vineyard in 1981, followed by the building of our small winery. The Cabernet is a blend that includes some Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, and is unusually ageworthy. Our vineyard is farmed organically and is almost entirely dry farmed. The buildings are solar powered. We make two estate bottled Cabernets each year: Philip Togni and Tanbark Hill, our second wine. A portion of the Philip Togni Cabernet is held back to be re-released in later years.

Tanbark Hill Vineyard Cabernet is made from certain Cabernet Sauvignon blocks of our vineyard and is a wine that is more approachable when young.

The second label from Philip Togni Vineyard, "Tanbark Hill" comes from the same 10.5-acre estate vineyard as their eponymous wine and receives the same impeccable care in the cellar (20 months in 40% new French oak). The wine generally consists of fruit harvested from a 3-acre block (planted to 99% Cabernet Sauvignon) which has slightly richer soils. Added to the wine made from this block are barrels destined for the Estate bottling that are deemed more suitable for earlier drinking.
