2017 Norton Jacked Up Red Wine Details

Description: The newest release for Paradise Hills, Norton aged first in French oak, then for another 6 months in Jack Daniel's barrels. Just a hint of smokey caramel comes through with a smooth mouthfeel. Will age nicely for years to come.

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.
