Item Description

Parker wrote One of the most spectacularly beautiful vineyards, high on the lower slopes of Spring Mountain, is Newton Vineyards. Organically farmed and impeccably manicured, this was one of the first outposts to which famed Bordeaux consultant Michel Rolland came, and an entire generation of winemakers formed by his brilliance have emerged from Newton. The overall style of the wine is one built on European elegance and longevity. Parker also called Newtons Unfiltered one of Californias most glorious Chardonnays. Wine Spectator gave this Newton 91 points and reviewed A rich, unctuous, buttery style. Full-bodied, with spicy fig, melon, smoky oak and honeydew melon flavors that gain depth, body and complexity, ending with a roasted marshmallow aftertaste. Still a bit coarse in texture, but all the right ingredients are in the right places. The vineyard explains that this wine is bottled unfiltered to preserve the natural fruit essence and to foster the wines unique aroma and flavor. Those who know unfiltered wines will tell you that if youve never tired an unfiltered wine you should and you might as well start at the top right here.
