Stone Hill, Hermann, Estate Bottled, Norton 2005 The nose features the smells of black fruit, compost, tar, cinamon and floral notes like violets. There’s equally a vast medley of flavors on the palate with plenty of backbone. The tannin and acidity make it a keeper or a perfect partner now with a thick slab of beef – long, concentrated and a winner. This is all Norton, sourced from the winery’s Kemperberg and Cross J vineyards. After fermentation, the wine spends 12 months aging in a combination of French, Hungarian and US oak. Stone Hill has established a great reputation for its work with this important grape. P&B in Hermann 12.8% $18.99 at the winery Stone Hill
