Founded in 1977, Newton Vineyard is one of the most prestigious in California’s Napa Valley. Located on the steep slopes of Spring Mountain, the estate, spanning just about 260 hectares, produces wines that are vinified separately then blended together. Each of the 112 parcels is planted with a specific grape variety – merlot, cabernet franc, chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon or petit verdot. With its close relationship to the surrounding nature, the estate alternates vines with wooded areas in order to preserve a vast array of biodiversity throughout the vineyards.

Winemaker's Notes
Aromas of Dutch cocoa, mulberry, vanillan oak and herb-infused tapenade lead to a rich and full and plush palate. Flavors of mocha, cassis and cedar are complemented by a slightly chalky, but fine, long finish.

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Rating: 91+
Classic, somewhat traditional, old-style Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Unfiltered shows notes of blackcurrants, dusty/loamy soil notes, moderately high tannins, good spice and earth. Certainly it’s meant for aging, and there’s no shortage of alcohol (14.5%). The wines have enough to start life slowly and evolve beautifully, much like those of Philip Togni up the street on the top of Spring Mountain. Give this wine 5-10 years and drink it over the following 20-25.
