Philip Togni Vineyard
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Blind Napa 14 tasting, 1st flight. Maybe the most forward young Togni I have tried- layered with plenty of nuance. Would like to revisit the Dominus- as this was not a good showing and may have been an off bottle

Jul 10th, 2014Michael Jordan at his peak. Purebred. Only sorry I didn’t call and have it decanted 12 hours ago. Smooth and effortless. Balanced palate and appropriate fruit. Got better by the minute

Aug 17th, 2016Decanted the wine for over an hour and expected more from it. Good fruit but very weak on the finish. Perhaps it will get better with age.

May 2nd, 2016'97 Togni Napa Cab was as good inside the bottle as it was ugly on the outside from humid storage. Cedary dark cherry with more facets than a well-cut diamond. Powerful at its core, this baby could go for another decade, with fresh layers of blue and red fruit, leather and smoke.
