I picked this up years ago at the winery and sort of forgot about it until tonight. I decanted it for 45 minutes and it opened up with some interesting flavors on the nose: black cherry, chocolate, and a brandy-esque smell. I can't really compare a Norton to any other major varietal, but still picked up cherry, milk chocolate, cassis, and some faint vegetal flavors. Nice smooth tannins and a medium finish. It was different, but kind of good.

Delicious!!! Great for drinking all by itself (no food).
