Philip Togni Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Critical Acclaim: 95 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

Winemaker Tasting Notes: The 2017 wine was made from a low (2.6 tons per acre) yield blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, all grown on slopes at 2,000 feet elevation here at our vineyard on Spring Mountain overlooking the Napa Valley. Warm fermentations produced a bone-dry wine aged in 100% French oak, 40% of which was new. The wine was racked every 3 months, with no fining or filtration and will benefit from long-term aging.

"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a classic Togni wine, meant to be laid down for at least a decade and capable of aging well for 20 years beyond that in a cool cellar. Hints of green olive and thyme add savory nuance to the raspberry and cassis shadings on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is concentrated into a dense, streamlined shape that throws off waves of dusty tannins, buffered by hints of cedar and vanilla, with lingering cassis notes on the finish."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. 

Varietal: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.
