Wight-Meyer Vineyard & Winery

2009 Kentucky Norton “N48” GOLD Dense dark ruby color. Fresh and grapey, packed with plums and cherries. Tannins are rich, plush and full, supporting deep flavors of spiced plum and carob. The finish is lively and full of Christmas spice. In the aftertaste I can convince myself I get a hint of the violet aroma of anthracite coal.
