Newton Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Unfiltered 2016 750ml

The 2010 vintage was very cool with the exception of a few hot weekends. This allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and over a long time. Ultimately, this resulted in grapes with wonderful acidity, smaller yields and concentrated flavors. We begin our winemaking work in the vineyard, cultivating the vines using sustainable farming techniques and following nature’s lead as the growing season unfolds. Our Cabernet Sauvignon undergoes two days of a cold soak followed by eight to 10 days of fermentation using native yeasts. The wine then rested on the skins for a week longer to develop additional complexity before aging for 22 months in 50% new French oak barrels. As always, it was bottled unfiltered.
