Newton Single Vineyard Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 750ml

In 2017, the October wildfires ended Newton's harvest early, and half of the Mount Veeder crop was left on the vine. What was picked became this small single-vineyard Cabernet.

The vineyard sits on steep, south-facing slopes in the Mayacamas Mountains, between 750 and 1,250 feet, with sedimentary soils. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from blocks 203, 205 and 212, hand-harvested and optically sorted. It spent 12 months in French oak, 60% new, then six more months after blending.

The winery describes blackberry and currant with wet slate, mushroom and leather, a firm structure and a long, powerful finish.

Choose the 2017 for a short, rare vintage. For the next year's wine, see the 2018.

James Suckling suggested trying it after 2023, so it's in its window. Decant it for an hour and serve with lamb.
