2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Buying options
Tasting notes
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate offers up a crème de cassis, violets, dark chocolate and licorice core with nuances of lavender, unsmoked cigars, beef drippings and iron pan plus a touch of baking spices. Medium to full-bodied with a solid frame of plush tannins and great freshness, it has a wonderful core of muscular fruit and plenty of power juxtaposed by bags of finesse in the multilayered finish.

Philip Togni's 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is a real stunner. An exotic melange of blue/black fruit, savory herbs, graphite, smoke, licorice and leather. Sumptuous, layered and exquisite in its beauty, the 2013 captures all of the pedigree of this great Napa Valley vintage. The flavors are vivid and chiseled throughout. It is early, but Togni's Cabernet Sauvignon is making an eloquent case to be considered as one of the very finest wines of the year.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is just as magnificent as it has always been. A wine of stature and pedigree, the 2013 possesses stunning vertical intensity right out of the gate. Dark fruit, lavender, graphite, coffee and dried herbs are some of the notes that infuse this vivid Cabernet with striking complexity. But it is the sum of the parts that impresses most. Togni's 2013 cements its place as one of the epic wines of this legendary harvest.
