Norton

by: Davina Horton

Norton, deep and red
Missouri's finest grape
Perfect with cheese and french bread
Blueberries, cherries, black currents

January is the month we honor you
The Norton grape
Your subtle notes of dirt give us a clue
Of all the flavors you have to offer
From vine to wine
You delight our senses
With complex hints that outshine
Most other wines can only dream…..
Of being regal as the Norton grape.


Nortons that we have fallen in love with thus far this year include:


 

This limited Reserve is a full bodies wine.  Barrel aged in the finest French oak.  Described as "jammy".  Dry at first with a jam finish.  Our first Norton that we actually enjoy drinking.
