Newton Cabernet Sauvignon Unfiltered 2014

This is a wine for the ages. Black, inky mulberry, licorice, currant, and dark chocolate are present on the nose. The palate is concentrated and intense with hints of black currant, mulberry and aged tobacco. Firm, savory tannins and mineral notes round out the palate of this powerful, robust wine. While immediately approachable, this wine will also benefit from medium-term cellaring.This vintage in the Napa Valley was warm, dry and early. Despite the ongoing drought conditions over much of California, our vineyards secured just enough winter and spring rainfall to make it through the dry summer months. The grapes were able to fully ripen in ideal conditions in late summer and into fall. 2014 will likely be a celebrated vintage for Napa with powerful and intense flavors, balanced acidity and long rich and mouth filling textures.
