Showed classic notes of Verna's vineyard. With olive tapenade and bramble berries. There also was a note of orange peel on the nose. Serious amount of salinity in the palate. — 11 years ago

The very pale color is not too inviting - but don't stop after a glance. The nose send showers of vanilla peaches out in a cloud of soft oak scents. On the palate, rich peach and pear mix with a slight taste of orange peel. The acidity is striking, and a citrus note clings to the lengthy, delicious finish. — 11 years ago
Nice clean wine, acidity and touch of RS. — 12 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. — 10 years ago
