{"title":"Philip Togni","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilip Togni Vineyard is Napa at its most old-school: a ten-acre mountain estate making Cabernet blends modeled on Margaux, built to age for decades rather than to impress young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilip Togni studied under Émile Peynaud at the University of Bordeaux and worked as assistant régisseur at Château Lascombes in Margaux. He arrived in Napa in 1959 and spent the next two decades at some of California's landmark wineries, among them Mayacamas, Inglenook, Chalone and Chappellet, where he made the celebrated 1969 Cabernet. In 1975 he and his wife Birgitta bought land near the top of Spring Mountain, and they planted the first vines in 1981. Their daughter Lisa, who worked harvests in Australia and at Léoville-Barton, has since taken over the winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard sits at about 2,000 feet, above the fog line, on shallow, rocky volcanic soils, and is farmed by the family with organic practices. Everything is estate grown: mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The flagship estate Cabernet is firm, mineral and savory; Tanbark Hill is the earlier-drinking bottling; and Ca' Togni is a true rarity, a sweet red from Black Hamburg inspired by the legendary Constantia of South Africa. Patience is rewarded.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"philip-togni-cabernet-sauvignon-2000-15l-gfcell-pvt","title":"Philip Togni, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2000 (1.5L)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of Napa's most uncompromising traditional Cabernets, made high on Spring Mountain by Bordeaux-trained Philip Togni. Planted at around 2,000 feet, his estate Cabernet (blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot) is famous for its firm structure and ability to age gracefully for decades, a counterpoint to richer, riper Napa styles. This is the 2000 in magnum, a format Togni's wines reward thanks to their patience-demanding nature.

Philip Togni studied under Emile Peynaud in Bordeaux and worked as assistant régisseur at Château Lascombes. He came to Napa in 1959 and spent the next two decades at some of California's key addresses: he was founding winemaker at Chalone and made Chappellet's acclaimed 1969 Cabernet before planting his own vines. Those vines sit above the fog line in shallow, rocky volcanic soil. They're mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, and every bottle comes only from grapes the family grows themselves. The Tognis call their Cabernet a Margaux-type blend built to age, and they mean it: every year they hold back part of the new bottling to re-release at ten, twenty and thirty years old. Philip, his wife Birgitta and their daughter Lisa still own the estate together. Try this 2011 if you like your Napa structured and old-school rather than polished and plush.","brand":"Acker Merrall \u0026 Condit [AC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50630726221881,"sku":"NYC-A-OREGON1026-100226-8-5\/8","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Philip-Togni-Cabernet-Sauvignon-2011-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1791018186"}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/philip-togni.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
