Norton Reserva del Patron 2009

Limited number of hand-picked barrels selected specially by the winemaker. Dry red, full body, intense flavors, mouth-filling, oak aged.

The Norton Reserva del Patron is a selection of the finest of everything on our estate. The grapes are from the best blocks in our vineyard and only the finest oak barrels are used for this wine. Prior to bottling the Owner tastes the wine from these barrels and selects only the finest to go into this prestigious blend. This wine is the true expression of the Norton grape, with powerful intensity of fruit and big, silky tannins. The color is dark, with briar, plum, and currant flavors riding along a racy, mineral streak that culminates with lovely chocolate and boysenberry notes on the finish. This wine can be enjoyed immediately or cellared for up to twenty years.
