Vinous 2024 Wine of the Year: 2021 Philip Togni Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

Choosing the Vinous Wine of the Year for 2024 from the more than 35,000 wines our team of reviewers tasted during the last twelve months was a daunting task. Over the course of long discussions and lengthy deliberations, one wine stood out. A Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from a magnificent vintage that embodies exceptional quality and pedigree, with a price tag that remains quite accessible within the realm of the world’s very finest bottles. That wine is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate from Philip Togni Vineyard.

The Polo Bar is one of my favorite spots in New York City. I realize that may sound somewhat pretentious, given that reservations are very hard to get.

2023 Alta Heights Pinot Noir California Alpine Wine

2023 Alta Heights Pinot Noir California Alpine Wine, 92 points

The 2023 Pinot Noir California Alpine Wine buzzes with lively, bright notes of dusty red/blue berry fruit, blood orange, lavender and spice. Hands-off winemaking yielded a vivid, pure-fruited Pinot that's almost carbonic in feel. (BN)

($25.00)
