Newport Vineyards

What a great place!  Once you walk towards the vineyard itself, the scenery is quite beautiful but for all the vineyards I have been to, the tasting room and outside patio are the least asthetically pleasing.  However, the wine makes up for it.  There were so many wines that I enjoyed, and they have a very large selection in comparison to other vineyards, especially CT vineyards. 

Of the reds, my favorite was the Newport Merlot, which is also made up of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.  This particular wine is aged for an extended time in oak barrels so it has a delicious smokey complexity to it.
