@Dave Newton was a big Napa player in the late 80’s-turn of the century. They were known for their “Unfiltered” Chard but made a solid Claret, an occasionally delicious and semi-gratuitous Chard and a top-notch Cab. Distribution down here in San Diego has been a little uneven. Think they are distributed by one of the big guys so that winery gets lost in a portfolio of 100+ wineries. Was pouring the Napa Chard btg for a spell and picked up a few cases of the Claret for a song but both have been 5 years or so ago. Also, a label change for them since then.

Unfiltered Napa Valley Chardonnay 2003

Gold at age 22. Aroma is full of flowers. Pineapple is clearly present on the palette with white pepper and pear secondary flavors. Went well with Pan fried Walleye with a Leek and White Wine Sauce — 9 months ago

Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Really big and bold, but as of 2024 the ‘18 vintage is still immature. It’s going to be beautiful and delicious though and hopefully smoothes out. Strong acidity and mouth watering tannins. There are lots of dark fruits mixed with some sour cherry and other tart red berries. Chocolate and spice, medium vanilla tannins. I’ll sit on my other bottles for a few more years. — 2 years ago
