Norton was cultivated in Richmond, Virginia, and is now the official grape of the State of Missouri.
Norton wines are celebrated for their intense, dark colors and rich, fruity aromas.
Norton is blessed with high levels of resveratrol – a compound found in grapes that is thought to be good for heart health.
On the palate, you will find vibrant flavors of red and black berries, pomegranate and plum, often accompanied by earthy undertones and spices.

The Bordeaux Glass was designed for enjoying fuller-bodied, tannic red wines. They are taller than other red wine glasses, and has a slimmer bowl. The tall size allows the bouquet of the wine to develop, smooth out rough edges, play down tannins, and allow the wine to achieve balance. The slimmer bowl directs the wine to the back of your mouth for a maximum taste. |
