Editorial profile
Philip Togni Vineyard is a ten-acre, family-farmed estate near the top of Spring Mountain in the western hills of Napa Valley, at 2,000 feet elevation. Philip Togni arrived on Spring Mountain in 1975 and began planting in 1981, on ground first planted to vine at the end of the 19th century; the oldest vines now date to 1985.
The estate is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, farmed organically by the family, and the two wines it produces are both Cabernet-led: the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, a Margaux-type blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot (a portion of each vintage is held back for re-release at ten, twenty and thirty years old), and Tanbark Hill Cabernet, made from specific Cabernet Sauvignon blocks. Philip is a former student of Emile Peynaud in Bordeaux; his daughter Lisa, who has worked harvests in Australia and at Château Léoville-Barton, now farms and makes wine alongside her parents.
