Description
The 2021 Philip Togni Tanbark Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is medium ruby in color and offers aromas of red cherry, currant, tobacco pipe smoke, and notes of jalapeño—just enough to sit forward and take notice that this is not just another Napa Valley ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. A thread of red fruit acidity runs the length of the palate. The finish is mouthwatering and savory, lingering with flavors of cherry, red currant, and cranberry, along with some crushed peppercorn, old cedar box, and dried tobacco leaf. The tannins are very well integrated with a light to moderate grip on the sides of the palate. The mouthwatering brightness on the finish persists for quite some time. Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot.
