Newlan

Sort By:

Newlan 1999 Late Harvest White Riesling (Napa Valley)

Price $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. — S.H. (12/1/2001)

Newlan 1999 Merlot (Napa Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $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. — S.H. (8/1/2003)

points

Newlan 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $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. — S.H. (12/31/2003)

Newlan 1997 Reseve Pinot Noir (Napa Valley)

Price $26

— S.H. (9/1/2002)

points

Newlan 1998 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

Price $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. — W.E. (6/1/2000)

points

Newlan 1997 Zinfandel (Napa Valley)

Price $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. — S.H. (5/1/2000)

points

Newlan 1998 Zinfandel (Napa Valley)

Price $22

Good, thick, black cherry fruit, dense tannins, with a dark, dense, chalky finish. This is manly Zin—muscular, balanced and heavy. Great for outdoor grilling. — P.G. (3/1/2001)

points

Newlan 2000 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

Price $17

This is a hands-on wine filled with everything toasty oak and lees can add. The underlying flavors are fairly lean, suggesting citrus fruits and a hint of green apple. The result is not a big, fat Chard, but a tight, crisp and elegant one. Perfect with roasted chicken. — S.H. (12/15/2002)
