WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Made from the Norton (which is also known as the Cynthiana) grape, this dry red wine is a beautiful deep burgundy color. The rich bouquet is that of raspberry and black cherry with a hint of cigar. The full body consists of cassis and black cherry with soft jammy overtones and is similar in style to a Cabernet, yet with the spiciness of a Zinfandel. The finish is lingering with hints of spice, vanilla and raspberries.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Cynthiana is excellent with steak, duck, meaty stews and rich cheeses.
