Price:
$29.00 per bottle
Description:
The blending of Norton with Cabernet Sauvignon creates a rich, robust, and balanced wine. The familiar nose of cherries and smoke is supported by extracted black fruit flavors and is encased by a bit of vanilla and spicy pepper. Finishing long, the firm tannins promise a long life in the bottle.

Varietal Definition
Norton:
In 1835, Dr. Daniel Norton of Virginia developed this grape varietal that was originally known as the Virginia Seedling. Widely planted in the Midwest (where it is sometimes called Cynthiana), it has become a source of interest to East Coast vintners in recent years. It produces a dark, inky wine with flavors of plums and cherries. Horton Vineyards in Virginia is particularly interested in reviving the grape's reputation. In the South, look for Norton (or Cynthiana) from Moonrise Bay, Mountain Valley, Three Sisters, Tiger Mountain and Tennessee Valley.
