Wine Details
Price:
$19.99 per bottle
Description:
A semi-sweet blend of St Vincent and Norton aged in American Oak. Almond Tree Red has lots of cherry flavor from St Vincent and a nice peppery spiciness from the Norton. The residual sugar creates a fruit forward wine and the crisp acidity produces a long and dry finish. This is our signature wine and our best seller.

Varietal Definition
Vincent:
This variety has high acidity, when fermented it produces a well-balanced dry red table wine. The wine has a deep blue-red color when young, but when aged the blue pigment is deposited & the wine becomes quite stable.

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.
