2016 Philip Togni, Spring Mt. Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 Clean and lifted primary fruitMedium 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. 96 Lisa Perotti Brown
