Winemaker Notes

SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS Loads of dark cherries and vanilla beans on the nose. The finish is sensuous and lingering. VINIFICATION Fermented naturally without adding any yeast and left to age in the heart of the mountain for twenty-four months. VINTAGE CHARACTERISTICS It had a cool spring that was very windy, so there were quite a few buds that were shattered. Thus, the vintage had a very low yield and whenever Nature taketh, Nature also giveth, and we had wonderful fruit at harvest.

Newton Vineyard Winemaker, Alberto Bianchi Winery Image

Newton was founded in 1977 by English businessman Peter Newton and his Chinese wife Su Hua. Peter Newton was already renowned as a pioneer of winemaking in the Napa Valley, having founded the Sterling Winery near Calistoga in the 1960s. The Newtons transformed one square mile of rolling hillside in Spring Mountain into one of the Napa Valley’s most prestigious estates, whose wines have graced the official dinners of several US presidents.

The Newton estate encompasses 170 acres of prime Napa Valley terroir, distributed over four separate, wholly owned vineyards: Spring Mountain, Yountville, Mount Veeder and Carneros.

Newton is renowned for producing wines that are uniquely characterful expressions of varietals emblematic of the Napa Valley, notably Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Working patiently with nature, we are committed to precision viticulture and winemaking techniques yielding wines that are acclaimed for their balance, harmony and full, abundant flavors.
