Newton Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (75cl)

This is a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Newton's Yountville vineyard in California, made from the best blocks of the original plantings and inspired by the wines of Bordeaux. The vineyard was established in 1973 on the lower slopes and foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains, where fog lingers until late morning and cools the vines. It is one of three single-vineyard wines first bottled from the 2014 blending, alongside Spring Mountain and Mount Veeder. Boysenberry and mulberry lead on the nose. The palate is fleshy and dense with fine tannins, cassis, fig and a savoury streak, finishing long and structured with sassafras, sagebrush and a hint of loam.
