Newton Vineyard 'Skyside-Red Label' Claret 2017 Review
Well, this wine is nice and smooth. It’s also a success in this price range. You will dig the soft, supple fruit, framed by a nice, prominent tannin structure. You’ll enjoy the subtle aromas of blackberry and blueberry fruit with a waft of pepper. It’s also balanced enough that it will appease the softer palates as well as the more full-bodied wine lovers.
