Newton Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville Napa valley
Winemaker Notes
Instantly appealing with abundant blueberry fruit with beetroot, couverture, licorice and black olives. The palate is soft rich and round with dark chocolate, satsuma plums and crème de cassis providing a plump and fleshy middle balanced by a creamy, savory and fine velvety structure with great persistence with layers of flavor and texture.
Critical Acclaim
JS95James Suckling
A wonderful young Napa cab with ultra-fine tannins that go on for minutes. Lots of licorice, mint and blackcurrant character. Medium to full body. Reserve and refined finish. Better in 2018.
WE91Wine Enthusiast
It’s a new day for this producer, which is stepping slightly off the gas to make more nuanced balanced wines. This is no exception: a restrained offering of earthy mushroom, soy, cedar, leather and juicy red fruit that disentangles itself from oak and tannin to stay fresh in the glass. Enjoy best from 2024 through 2034.
Cellar Selection

Oak plays a strong role in this wine's aroma and flavor. The core is dense and pleasantly earthy to the point of being chewy. No rush here, but the tannins may persist. Drink now through 2026.
