Description:
Exhibiting the luscious dessert flavors of chocolate and cherry and is absolutely delicious. Similar to a Port but without the brandy fortified kick on the backside. This is a sweet Norton wine that goes well with chocolate, cake, mousse, and the heavier dessert food chain.

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.
