@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.

Granum Syrah - Mourvèdre Blend 2015

17+/20 (92+/100) Аромат чернослива, черешни, шоколада и легкой нотой кожи. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и молодыми, но не грубыми танинами. Отлично! #capewine2018 — 8 years ago

The Puzzle Spring Mountain Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

A tasty Napa Bordeaux blend, well made, slightly high toned and pushing the acidic side of the spectrum. That’s said, was quite enjoyable, but there are certainly others that are at least comparable if not better at this price point. — 6 years ago

Limited Edition Knight's Valley Unfiltered Chardonnay 2010

Light gold appearance. Fig, apricot, rose water Brie on the nose. Silky, with bright fruit, not much acidity. Slightly sweet like a white Bordeaux. With 9 years it has enough structure and length to be interesting. — 7 years ago

Walker Bay Pinot Noir 2016

16.5/20 Аромат малины, вишни, хлебной корочки и легким оттенком кофе. Легкое тело, высокая кислотность довольно интенсивные, но гладкие по текстуре танины. Ягодно-кофейное во вкусе. Приятное и легкое, но не легкомысленное вино. #capewine2018 — 8 years 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
