The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is positively ravishing today. This is the best bottle of the 2015 I have ever tasted by a pretty significant measure. Crushed flowers, graphite, blood orange and grilled herbs soar from the glass. The strong savory profile, dark-toned fruit and incisive mountain tannins are classic Togni. Still quite youthful, like Philip Togni himself, the 2015 promises to drink well for another 15-20 years. It's a magnificent, towering wine in every way. Yields were down 50% because of poor weather during set. Harvest began on September 9 during warm conditions that were unusual at the time. -- Antonio Galloni

Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has a very classic nose of cassis, warm plums and crushed blackberries with notions of cigar box, garrigue, damp soil and truffles plus wafts of menthol and underbrush. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a firm frame of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and minerally. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Menthol, bay leaf and sage notes lead off, followed quickly by a steady beam of red currant and damson plum puree. Shows a subtle, chalky underpinning, with a light infusion of wet pine on the finish, plus latent grip. Tilts old school and should age gracefully. -- Blind 2015 California Cabernet retrospective (July 2025). Drink now through 2038. - JM
