Newlan 1999 Late Harvest White Riesling (Napa Valley)
- $25
Fantastically rich and sweet— even decadent—with apricot, crème brûlée and caramel aromas and botrytis. Deeply opulent and fruity in the mouth with flavors of apricot nectar, it has a zesty, cleansing cut of acidity. Drizzle it on vanilla ice cream on a hot night.

Newlan 1999 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
An exciting and tastefully made wine that approaches the ultraripe fruit of the vintage with restraint. Young, jammy plum and blackberry flavors are reined in with herbal, olivey notes, and oak has been sparingly applied in this dry, elegant table wine.

Newlan 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $30
A beautiful Cab that cheats the vintage with its plumply ripe fruit. Pours black, and opens with young, fairly closed aromas of herbs and oak, but the hidden depths of this wine reveal themselves in the blackcurrant, cherry and chocolate flavors that last through the finish. Should age through the decade, or try now with prime rib.

Newlan 1998 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- $16
Crisp and multifaceted with grapefruit, lime and pear aromas. Slight sulfur noted, but not off-putting. Very lively and brisk, with tart pineapple flavors and herb accents. Zingy and lean. Seems like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, not typical Chardonnay, but it’s very attractive nonetheless.

Newlan 1997 Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- $20
Quite a bit darker and fuller than Newlan’s offering from Alexander Valley, with blackberry and currant fruit, chewy tannins, and a creamy texture. Scores extra points for complexity and elegance.

Newlan 2000 Pinot Noir (Napa Valley)
- $24
A light-bodied, savory Pinot Noir with pleasant cherry and spice flavors and a silky, gentle texture. It has enough complexity to stand up to fancy fare, and will gain by a few hours of decanting.

Newlan 1999 Pinot Noir (Napa Valley)
