The Newton Merlot 2005 is a masterpiece from Napa Valley, created by Newton Vineyard, founded in 1977. Located in Spring Mountain, this vineyard has led the way in crafting unfiltered wines. The 2005 vintage reflects perfect maturation due to its long, cool growing season. This Merlot, complemented with Cabernet Franc, is handcrafted: fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 22 months in French oak barrels. Bottled unfiltered, it preserves a unique natural richness. Its sophisticated profile makes it a gem for collectors, revealing its dedication to capturing the pure essence of the vineyard. Tasting notes show a deep cherry-red color, complex aromas of ripe fruits, and a mineral touch, with a potent and silky flavor. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, it pairs well with red meats and aged cheeses. It is recommended to decant before serving at 16-18°C.
