In the early 1990s, as Peter Newton worked to redefine the signature style of Newton wines, he developed a complex blend of 71 small vineyard blocks along the contours of Spring Mountain – giving a new meaning to “Puzzle.” This Bordeaux blend is about elegance, richness, great power and a beautiful long finish. Spice-forward with Herbs de Provence, tobacco, cacao, plum and fig aromas commingling. On the palate, the 2016 Puzzle’s firm, round tannins are pleasantly complemented by a distinct umami characteristic.
Blend: 68.59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16.04% Cabernet Franc, 9.04% Merlot, 5.98% Malbec, 0.35% Petit Verdot

Wine Enthusiast
This red is thick, weighty and tannic, an earthy commingling of several Bordeaux reds as one. Cedar, oak and tobacco wrap around darkblack fruit and grippy texture.

Slightly leafy blueberry and blackcurrant aromas lead to a palate that has a very fluid, neat and attractive core of fresh plums and blueberries. Firm with long and regal tannins. Try from 2022.
