Newton Single Vineyard Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Professional Ratings

• 98 Decanter
  Saturated black-red in colour, with sensually compelling aromas of dark fruits, incense and sweet leather. Pristine, pure and head-turning. On the palate, this has classic Napa fruit: dark, rich, welcoming yet profound, amply ripe yet saved from over-ripeness by the precision and freshness of its tannins as well as the innate grain and complexity of the fruit. 2018-2030.

  The deep purple-black colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville Single Vineyard offers red and black plums with warm blackberries, tilled soil and tar notes plus wafts of bouquet garni and garrigue. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, the mouth is elegant and fresh with lovely minerality on the long finish.

  This is a mouthful yet it remains structured and polished with lots of tannins and fruit at the same time yet in balance. I like the light austerity to it all. Full body, round and fresh.

  Graphite, tobacco leaf, scorched earth, and lead pencil notes all emerge from the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Single Vineyard Yountville, which is firm, concentrated, and focused on the palate, with beautiful purity of fruit. Aged 18 months in 50% new French oak, this Bordeaux look-alike will benefit from short-term cellaring and should evolve gracefully for 15+ years.

  This is a robustly tannic and powerful wine, its entry laced in peppercorn and crushed rock-like dust. Pencil shavings, dried herb, cedar and clove continue on the savory theme. An underlying earthiness barely tames the cassis-like fruit.
