The 2016 Philip Togni Cabernet presents a deep crimson hue and is immediately super aromatic upon pulling the cork. You'll find bright, dusty minerals, cassis, dried florals, and herbs on the nose. The palate is wonderfully expressive, with layers of black cherry fruit intertwined with subtle tobacco notes. Savoury elements course through this wine, revealing hints of charcuterie, tanned leather, and loamy earth. Medium-bodied, it builds richness on the palate, gaining depth and complexity with air while remaining incredibly youthful. Compact and marked by firm tannins, with a long, saline mineral thread that carries through to an extended finish. This wine can be thoroughly enjoyed alone or paired with a meal.\" JC for DR Aug 2024\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRP96+ \"Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate reveals a wonderfully spicy nose of cinnamon stick, cloves, fenugreek and cumin seed over a core of cassis, kirsch, black raspberries and spearmint with nuances of lavender and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate is laden with energetic red and black berry flavors, framed by ripe, finely grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and perfumed.\" LPB for TWA Dec 2018\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRobert Parker writes, \"I want to acknowledge a wine Philip Togni produced early in his career at Chappellet, the 1969 Cabernet Sauvignon. Recently, one of my dearest friends, Dr. Jay Miller, was feting his 60th birthday, and brought a bottle of this wine along with a collection of profound museum pieces. Togni’s ‘69 may be one of the greatest California Cabernet Sauvignons I have ever tasted. Every bottle I have had seems to get better and better. It is both a monument to California Cabernet Sauvignon and an homage to a feisty British-born winemaker who continues to turn out some of the world’s most interesting wines.\" Published: Dec 25, 2005\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAntonio Galloni for RobertParker.com writes, \"Philip Togni, along with his wife Birgitta and daughter Lisa continue to turn out some of the most distinctive and age worthy Cabernet Sauvignons in Napa Valley. Togni remains a benchmark, reference point producer for Napa Valley, with pricing that is incredibly consumer friendly.\" Published: Dec 26, 2012","brand":"Togni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49363818905837,"sku":"USR:TOG:TOGN-0750-2016-F0L0C0","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/USRTOGTOGN-0750-2016-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1774031133","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2016-philip-togni-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-bottle-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
