Description:
A full bodied deep garnet red wine from Central Illinois vineyards. This wine has aromas and flavors of cinnamon and sweet, ripe plum fruit. Its medium, balanced finish shows good acidity for full-flavored foods. NOTES Rich flavors to pair with grilled meats – steaks and chops; add to rich roast beef stews; will match well with firm, aged cheeses, cheddars and gruyere; great with rich, bitter-sweet chocolates.

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.
