Floral with white peach and intensely exotic melon; quite a robust body; clean medium acidity and well-developed mouthfeel. Great value! — 6 years ago
Color is pale pink, moving to orange at the rim; shows much, much more age then its two years. Smell is instantly earthy, with some alcohol and some fruit, and very slight background of oak; again, nose suggests age, so maybe this bottle has benefited from its improper storage. Taste confirms oak and really brings out the fruit, most prominent for me is raisin; medium acid with light tannins and dry, earthy finish. Delicious and balanced. This is the best American wine I've had at this price (about $19) — 8 years ago

We are so pleased to welcome Horton Norton back to our table. This was a young, 2014 Norton, and given about 30 minutes to open up, it really was lovely. Fruit up front, gorgeous color, plum and tart cherry flavor. Wow. Was AMAZING with a beef and butternut squash stew. — 8 years ago
