From a new Northern VA vineyard, this was a light fruity wine that did not have the usual Norton aftertaste as some wines do. I had this with 2 other people and it was a good "watching a movie wine" but nothing speculator. I had a small bit for the next day but when I tried it is was not the same. This is a pop and drink that day wine though this is much better then some of the other Norton grape wines. It a good start from this young winery.

Great wine. I bought this at the winery after trying it. almost a year later it taste just like I remember. Dark purple. Lots of fruit up front after popping and even after an hour decanting it was still strong. The taste was balanced that had a medium finish. I am not a pro taster so i could be totally wrong but I am not sure how long the fruit will last as the tannins are pretty soft now. maybe another year or two on this one
