SOLD OUTNewlan 1987 Cabernet Sauvignon

This deliciously smooth Cabernet scored an 88 in The Wine Spectator. "Ripe, smooth and generous, with complex curran, plum and spicy mint notes," says the publication, which reviewed the wine in 1992. "A rich, complex wine that offers lots of flavor components. Finishes with black cherry and anise notes, crisp acidity and firm but well integrated tannins," they added. The 1987 vintage was outstanding for Napa Valley, with excellent weather and ripening conditions. Fruit for this wine came from Bruce Newlan's original vines planted in 1967.
