Norton Wine Review: Though I want to limit myself to Cooper's Norton wine, I just can't help mentioning they have some lovely Virginia white wines. Now for a warning, - if you want Cooper wines, check with them first since they quickly sell out of their yearly productions. The reason I give them 5 stars is that Cooper's produces the BEST east coast Norton wines yearly. I have had their wines annually since 2001 and can say that each year they have gotten better and better. Would I state that they have the very best Norton wine, no, but out of 67 Norton wines we have had so far, Cooper's is among the top seven (the other six are all from Missouri). If their Norton wine is available, treat yourself to a leisurely visit to Cooper's Vineyard. Though their Norton wine can be enjoyed young, a couple years of storage adds additional character. As with all Norton wines, let your Norton wines breathe for an extensive amount of time before partaking.
