Cabernet Sauvignon "Unfiltered", Newton Vineyards, Napa Valley, CA, 2017

Winemaker's Notes-

Luscious dark fruit marks the aromas of this wine and continue on the palate with black currant and plum mingling with cocoa and vanilla notes. The rich, medium body is the foundation for balanced acidity and smooth tannins. “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.”
