NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Norton Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent example of a classic California Cabernet Sauvignon.Rich and intense aromas of black currant and dried herbs are followed by dark fruit flavors of cherry and blackberry that are nicely balanced with a hint of spice and firm tannins. The finish is long and satisfying with lingering notes of licorice and tobacco. Enjoy this wine now or cellar for up to 12 years.
