Philip Togni Vineyard

What Philip Togni Vineyard does

Philip Togni Vineyard is a family-owned estate winery operating from a ten-acre vineyard at approximately 2,000 feet elevation near the top of Spring Mountain in the western hills of Napa Valley, California. The vineyard was planted beginning in 1981 and is farmed organically and without irrigation by the Togni family, who produce all wines as estate-bottled using only estate-grown grapes. The company is owned by three family members — Philip Togni, Birgitta Togni, and their daughter Lisa Togni — and operates as a bonded winery (Bonded Winery No. 5290) out of St. Helena, California.

The product portfolio consists of two wines: the flagship Philip Togni Vineyard Cabernet, an ageworthy Margaux-type Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, of which a portion is held back and re-released at 10, 20, and 30 years of age; and Tanbark Hill Vineyard Cabernet, made from select Cabernet Sauvignon blocks and intended for earlier drinking. The flagship has recently received top validation from Antonio Galloni of Vinous, with 98-point scores for the 2023 and 2015 vintages and 95 points for the 2005 vintage. Mountain terroir and an extended ripening window — with harvest as late as early October — are core production characteristics.

The business model is exclusively direct-to-consumer. Wines are sold only through the company's own e-commerce shop and an annual mailing-list offer that features new releases alongside aged re-releases. There are no disclosed third-party distributors, retail partners, or restaurant accounts, and shipping is temperature-dependent. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a quote basis. Marketing relies on the mailing list and earned media in the form of critic reviews, with no digital advertising or social channels disclosed.

Core offering

Philip Togni Vineyard is a small family-owned estate winery that grows grapes on its ten-acre Spring Mountain vineyard (at 2,000 feet elevation in Napa Valley) and produces two estate-bottled wines: the flagship Philip Togni Vineyard Cabernet (an ageworthy Margaux-type Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot) and the Tanbark Hill Vineyard Cabernet (an earlier-drinking wine from select Cabernet blocks). Wines are sold exclusively direct to consumers via the estate's mailing list and online shop, with the flagship also re-released at 10, 20, and 30 years of age.

Product overview

Philip Togni Vineyard is a small estate winery producing two wines from its ten-acre vineyard on Spring Mountain in Napa Valley. The flagship Philip Togni Vineyard Cabernet is a classic, long-lived Bordeaux-style blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot) released both young and aged (10, 20, 30 years). The second wine, Tanbark Hill Vineyard Cabernet, is sourced from select Cabernet blocks and designed for earlier drinking. All wines are estate-bottled, meaning only grapes grown in the family's own vineyard are used.
