2014 Newton Vineyard Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon, California, USA (750ml) Rutherford blackberry and cassis fruit preserveTASTING NOTES: A wonderful young Napa cab with ultra fine tannins that go on for minutes. Lots of licorice, mint and blackcurrant character. Medium to full body. Reserve and refined finish. Better in 2018. James Suckling, 95 pts
