Description:
If you’re looking for a high-quality, dry, full-bodied red wine you only thought you could find in California or France, here’s the wine for you. In fact, it’s even been nicknamed “The Syrah of the Ozarks.” The Jowler Creek Norton is carefully crafted from our estate grown grapes and its rich, bold cherry fruit and sweet oak characteristics make it the perfect mate with spicy Kansas City barbecue dishes, smoked meats, and other hearty Midwestern dishes.

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.
