Winery Review: This 100% Norton wine shows off Norton’s intense fruit and mellow palate. Mellowing with time in the bottle, it continues to deliver a powerful nose with concentrated fruit aromas and sweet spice. The flavors of cherries and plums that define Norton, with nuances of ripe fruit, pepper, earth, and a vanilla edge, round out this expressive synergy of grape and winemaking excellence.

My Review: The nose had hints of red fruit mainly currant and raspberry and some oak and vanilla. There were some spice notes as well and it came off very bold. The taste was a cherry bomb. It was very fruit forward with vanilla and spice arriving after. Currants were noticeable with some oakiness. It had a long finish and full body. This was a good wine that could benefit from some decanting.
