Napa Valley, California, USA
Unfiltered means the nose is raw and stemmy, but at the same time the blackberry and red plum notes are that much more fresh. The palate has crazy chewy tannins, almost gripping at your tongue. Balanced and somewhat regal, this is great.

Drank this over a couple of nights. It was still tight on the first night but it’s gutsy tannins had been subdued on night two. It has great dried berry, tobacco, cedar and espresso flavors. All in all, it is a very nice wine.

Gravelly black fruits and dark soil. Big mouth feel and soft tannins.

Big fan of the Newton unfiltered! Medium to full body; very drinkable now, but probably even better with some additional time.

Classic Napa. Bright blue and black fruits with hints of sage and eucalyptus. A bit lighter than I would have expected. Needed some shaking and lots of swirling in the decanter. Dusty, leathery, tobacco-y, green peppery, meaty, deliciousness. Perfect match to some mooing filet. @David A Lentine ordered this in your honor. Cheers from 3,000 miles away.
