Taste of 2025

Dear Friends of Newton,

Last week, our team gathered to taste our 2025 wines: Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon from our Estate vineyard on Spring Mountain, along with Cabernet Sauvignon from a single-vineyard site on Mount Veeder. Why Mount Veeder? Historically, Newton Vineyard maintained an estate vineyard there, and we are thrilled to continue that legacy with the addition of the One Lane Bridge Vineyard to the Newton family.

Both wines show striking structure and unmistakable mountain character. Precision. Freshness. Tension. Depth. The Spring Mountain barrels speak clearly to our rugged elevation, volcanic soils, and the quiet intensity that defines this historic estate. The Mount Veeder barrels invite a combination of bright and brooding expressions shaped by cooler exposures, lending to striking aromatics and powerful structure.

While the wines rest in barrel, winter has brought a beautiful dormant season to Spring Mountain. Recent storms even dusted the mountain with snow, a rare and welcome sight in Napa Valley.

In the vineyard, our newly planted blocks are quietly taking root and thriving in the shallow mountain soils that define this site. Beneath the surface, the vines are anchoring themselves for the years ahead, while our established blocks stand ready for another growing season.

There is a sense of momentum here at Newton Vineyard, both in the cellar and in the vines, and we are grateful to share these early moments of our next chapter with you as we continue restoring this legendary estate to its former glory.

With gratitude,
The Newton Team
