Description
Shaped by the terroir of Newton's breathtaking Spring Mountain estate, this is a truly characteristic mountain wine from the Napa Valley. It was crafted from the highest-elevated block on Spring Mountain at 1600 feet, with south-facing exposures and a complex combination of both sedimentary and volcanic soils as well as diverse, moderately fertile and well-drained conditions. The ideal climatic conditions of 2019 with good rainfall, moisture retention in the soils and a summer that ended with mild days, resulted in a wine of great aromatics and silky structure while retaining its density and power. Combining energy, freshness, character and vibrancy, this is an exceptional wine with an aging potential of up to three decades.
