Newton's newest releases include the 1993 Unfiltered Chardonnay, of which, happily, there are 2,000 cases of this remarkably rich, concentrated wine. What places the Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay in Chardonnay's top league is its extraordinary intensity, multidimensional, layered texture that is reminiscent of a great white Burgundy from Coche-Dury, and its honeyed, orange peel aromas and flavors that are wrapped gently with subtle oak. The 1993 is perhaps the best Chardonnay Newton has yet made - which is saying something! Fans of Newton should recognize that the winery is beginning to produce some Viognier from a 5-acre vineyard. The first crop yielded just one barrel, but the wine was striking in its richness, intensity, and faithful varietal character. While the 1994 will not be released commercially, hopefully the 1995 will be of similar merit. Tel. (707) 963-9000
