Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2010  - First Bottle

Reviews

97+ Vinous -
After going through a period of post-bottling dormancy, Philip Togni's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon has really begun to show well from bottle over the last six months or so. Of course, the 2010 is far too young to deliver maximum pleasure, but it is nevertheless superb tonight. Beams of acidity and tannin give energy to the dark fruit and its accompanying floral/savory/mineral overtones. The 2010 is a classic Philip Togni wine that will thrill readers who appreciate classically built Cabernets. Recent bottles from the early 1990s and 2000s show just how much these wines transform when given the proper time to develop in bottle. At their best, Togni's wines bring together an Old World sensibility with Napa Valley richness, a pretty appealing combination, in my book.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
2010 Togni! Want to know what old-school Napa Valley tastes like? Buy this! Togni's career in Napa Valley begins at the legendary Mayacamas in 1959, in 1969 he crafts one of the all-time great Napa Valley wines, the 1969 Chappellet and his career culminates with a purchase of his Spring Mountain Estate which started to plant in 1981 while at Cuvaison. This guy is a living legend around here and his 2010 proves why. 97+ points from Galloni and deserving of every point. Classic!

About the Producer

Philip Togni is a luminary. He planted his first vines at 2000 feet near the top of Spring Mountain in 1981. Born in England, Philip studied with the legendary Emile Peynaud and moved to Napa in 1959 where he first worked at Mayacamas. His resume grew quickly getting experience at Chalone, Chappellet, Cuvaison and Ingelnook. He was the head winemaker at Chappellet where he crafted arguably one of the finest wines ever made in Napa history, the 1969 Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon. His wines always reflect an old-world sensibility and an uncanny ability to improve with bottle age.
