Wine Details
Price:
$15.00 per bottle
Description:
A fun wine with aromas of blueberry and bubble gum. The deep, dark color is similar to a heavily tannic wine, but this native grape produces an easy-drinking wine with an abundance of fruit and berries and a good amount of acidity. A great match with game dishes and strong cheese.

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.
