Newton Vineyard
|
|
Situated high on the dramatic slopes of Spring Mountain overlooking the Napa Valley, Newton Vineyard is blessed with a unique diversity of soils, exposures and elevations that create an exceptional winemaking environment. Newton’s mature vineyards are steeply terraced and carefully dispersed among the natural landscape and great care is taken to protect the estate. Along with sustainable farming practices, artisanal winemaking techniques such as natural fermentation enable Newton to transform grapes of uncompromised quality into wines of distinctive character. As a final homage to their purist philosophy, Newton often bottles their wines unfiltered and unfined to further preserve the natural essence of the grape.

Claret
The valley floor experienced frost in April and a little rain in May; however, these months were followed by an exceptionally long, even ripening season. Generally, the temperatures were mild during the day and cold at night with the exception of one brief heat spell at the end of September. The long hang time allowed the aromas and tannins to fully ripen and we achieved great balance with the 2002 vintage. 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc

Epic Merlot
Mostly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, any occasion becomes Epic with Newton Vineyard Epic Merlot. Cherries and currants, with layers of vanilla bean and wild honey, come through on the palate immediately. The aromas linger forever in the mouth.

Epic Merlot
The 2001 vintage was characterized by an early spring with premature heat spikes. Temperatures in July normalized; however, the vines still experienced an early bloom. August cooled, ensuring cold nights and aromatic ripening, and small amounts of rain in September created an incentive for additional hang time. The wines are well concentrated with strong fruit, powerful tannins and a well protected acidity.

Le Puzzle
Largely Cabernet Sauvignon with a small amount of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, Newton Vineyard Le Puzzle is an elegant, sensual Meritage blend. Filled with scents of black currant, figs, almonds and African violets, the mouth feel is rich, lingering and soft.

Unfiltered Chardonnay
The 2003 vintage experienced an early bud break in spring; however, temperatures quickly cooled and remained low until late April. The heat turned up in May resulting in rapid growth. Temperatures cooled again during bloom, causing shatter to the vines. August saw a few exceptionally hot days and cold nights (70-75 F difference), and once again, ripening slowed. Harvest was two weeks late due to an early September rain. The mild season and extended hang time enabled us to extract wonderfully soft flavors with great balance.
