Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon Estate 2008

Spring Mountain District, United States

Graphite minerality and cedar spice define this tightly wound Spring Mountain Cabernet. Black olive, tobacco leaf and dark chocolate emerge with air, but the wine remains coiled and austere. The structure is all mountain backbone. Firm tannins and bright acidity that demand patience. Drink 2018-2030.

Philip Togni

Philip Togni has made Cabernet Sauvignon on Spring Mountain since the 1980s, producing two site-specific wines from steep, high-elevation Napa hillside vineyards that age on a decidedly European timeline.
