This was an attractive aged Cali Cab that should continue to evolve. Modest nose of black fruits and charcoal. The palate is well balanced and classic feeling in style with flavors of black currant, tobacco, earth and cedar coming through into a nice medium finish. I liked the interplay of fruit and earth elements here and while I don’t think this will be a particularly long lived or complex wine it’s attractive now when you want a cab that won’t break the bank. (635 views) | | | Tasted by Timmy17 on 3/13/2016 & rated 94 points: Opened this bottle and tasted over 2 days contrasted with a 2013 Hall.
This opened with a 1/8 inch sediment on the cork-good sign. It opened with dark fruit and oaky on the nose. It was very soft and earthy with dark cherry, cocoa and vanilla on the palette. Very smooth and rich and got better in 3 hours. Great value. Last of my 2006. (2234 views) | | | Tasted by pugblanc on 8/4/2014 & rated 89 points: Plum. Earthy. Bitter sweet chocolate. Dark fruit. Rich mouth. (3036 views) | | | Tasted by ssspore on 4/8/2014 & rated 88 points: Had this after tin man so it had no chance. Tobacco on the nose. Some acidity. Weak finish. Single note. (3134 views) | | | Tasted by Rick 4 Wine on 2/3/2014 & rated 90 points: Has the nose of an older more mature wine. Body is full of mature fruit and oak with some heat to body. Not sure age will benefit this wine but will age gracefully from here. Drink over next 3-4 years.

Cassis, vanilla and tobacco ruled the palate. Long finish. Hated it to end! (3502 views) | | | Tasted by cbkamp on 8/28/2012 & rated 89 points: Clean mix of cassis and black cherry with nice minerality, tobacco, graphite, and mixed spices. On the palate, nice balance with good acidity and soft tannins. Black cherry with mocha on the finish. Definitely good now. (3328 views) | | | Tasted by TheBigD52 on 3/28/2012: dark fruit on the nose, deep dark purple color,drinking great. nice finish of dark fruit, including cherries and blavkberries. (2513 views) | | | Tasted by Mel-o-Vino on 8/7/2011 & rated 91 points: Drinking fantastic now! No need for decanting. Dark fruit on the nose....changes to earth/slightly gamey/fruit on the palate and then a beautiful finish of blackberries and sweet tobacco. (2850 views) | | | Tasted by Turkbzerk on 11/26/2010 & rated 90 points: Great big nose! Deep Dark Purple, exploding with fruit. Let it sit for about an hour, had with Thanksgiving dinner..really nice bottle. (3147 views) | | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 7/15/2010 & rated 90 points: LVMH at Binny's (Binny's Lincoln Park, Chicago IL): nose: balanced nose of black currants, oak tones, black cherries, dark red fruits, red currants and berry tones
taste: full bodied and well balanced tones of black currants, oak tones, dark red fruits and some red currants. Good supporting tannins that don't get in the way too much
overall: a very good and straightforward cab. Well balanced on both the nose and palate and perfectly fine right now (3081 views) | | | Tasted by bhornby on 5/16/2010 & rated 92 points: Great stuff - complex, not as backward as previous Newton Cab I have had - drinking well now. (2908 views) | | | Tasted by asiabear on 1/5/2010 & rated 88 points: Good color, weak nose. Well rounded but short. Not as much varietal sense as the Newton Unfiltered Merlot. (2917 views) |

Read more about NewtonCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
