2023 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon Estate | “Outrageously Beautiful” | 100WA, 100JG, 98VN

Philip Togni Vineyard - Spring Mountain, Napa

Perched high above the fog line on Napa’s Spring Mountain, Philip Togni Vineyard is one of California’s great benchmarks for age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon. Founded in 1981 by Bordeaux-trained winemaker Philip Togni—who crafted the legendary 1969 Chappellet Cabernet—the small family estate produces wines of remarkable structure, balance, and longevity, often compared to the finest classed growths of Bordeaux. Now made by Philip’s daughter, Lisa Togni, these meticulously farmed, mountain-grown wines remain among the most sought-after in Napa for their elegance, authenticity, and decades-long cellar potential.

"Lisa Togni has quietly established herself as one of the most respected winemakers in Napa Valley. Parents Philip and Birgitta are never far away, however, a reminder that this remains very much a family-owned and operated winery. Togni remains a reference point for fine, ageworthy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon." - Vinous

"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is outrageously beautiful. Graphite, lavender, crushed rocks, menthol and dark spice emerge with great reluctance. Then again, the 2023 was bottled just a few months before this tasting. It's a vivid, explosive Cabernet that will need at least a few years to be at its most expressive. Poor set lowered yields by about 25%, resulting in an unusually potent wine here. Captivating." - Antonio Galloni

"One of the top vintages I have had the privilege to taste, Philip Togni's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate starts quietly, with delicate, pretty notes of bay leaf and violets, then steadily grows into a crescendo of mixed red and black cherries and cassis. This medium- to full-bodied wine is concentrated, rich and dense yet never heavy or overdone; it's tannic but without any harshness, exhibiting awesome length and elegance on the finish." - Joe Czerwinski

"The Togni family’s grand vin from the 2023 vintage is a magical young cabernet sauvignon. As is family tradition here, the wine’s octane is not listed on the label, but I would bet it is below 13.5 percent. The bouquet is quite similar to their 2023 Tanbark Hill, albeit with more depth and purity, as it wafts from the glass in a nascently complex blend of cassis, dark berries, coffee bean, cigar wrapper, a beautiful foundation of Spring Mountain soil, incipient smokiness, a touch of currant leaf and a refined framing of cedary new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full bodied, seamlessly balanced and rock solid at the core, with great soil signature, firm, beautifully integrated tannins, great grip and a very, very long, impeccably balanced, refined and utterly stunning young finish. This year the wine’s cépages is eighty-two percent cabernet sauvignon, fifteen percent merlot, two percent cabernet franc and one percent petit verdot. All of the varieties were co-fermented and the wine was raised in forty percent new casks this year. This is a simply perfect young cabernet sauvignon." - John Gilman
