A different wine. Tart with a strong rose hips flavor laying over all sorts of berry/cherry fruit. There is a really refreshing aspect of this wine while it is still really food friendly. There is a high-toned cinnamon and nutmeg aspect on the edges of the tongue. Finish is medium to long. This wine shows what norton can do.

It's hard to put a number on this wine since it's so different from most of what people usually drink. Six years old and it's still showing lots of fruit. Nice aromatics. Deep blue-red color in the glass. On the palate has lots of tart and sour cherry the way norton can. Also has petrol, burnt spices and some espresso. Matched with foods that help to minimize the tartness and this is a nice wine.

Medium bodied with tart cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, and a touch of blueberry. Plenty of acidity and just a bit of tannin. An interesting change of pace with pizza.

Definitely not right, pretty sure it was beyond it's time.
