Description:
Norton is a regional favorite. Nortons are very hearty grapes and produce a wine that is bold, rich, and well suited to oaking and aging. We've released our Norton for you to enjoy now and to cellar and enjoy in years to come. This balanced wine is rounded and has subtle flavors of coffee and chocolate coming through.

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.
