Malibu - Newton Canyon received its designation as an AVA in 1996. Situated on 850 acres, Malibu - Newton Canyon is centered around Newton Canyon in Los Angeles County. Located in the hills just miles away from the Malibu Coast, the vineyards in Newton Canyon sit on an elevation of 2,800 feet. Soils in the Canyon are silty loam with large rocks and stones on the surface. The region receives daily sunshine and is protected from the cooling elements of the Pacific Ocean by the Canyon walls. The well-draining soils and hot temperatures of Newton Canyon make it ideal for the production of Cabernet Sauvignon.
