BODACIOUS BODEGA
Norton Reserva 2003 Malbec, Mendoza Argentina
In Argentina, were the land is profuse with fertile vineyards in the valley of “Men” doza, the Bodega of Norton Winery applies a “work system called Mapping the practice”. This methodology is where the “vineyards are divided into small (manageable) parcels that enable the work…” and Mans [sic] “…tracking to achieve their maximum potential” and performance. The wine is aged in barrels and then bottled and stored in the wineries Maturity Cellar that is located 30 feet deep below the winery. Any mention of Men, performance and deep assuredly draws the attention of Risqué.
This Fruit Bomb is bountiful in the glass with intense dark purple garnet color giving rise to scents of dark ripe plum, over ripe cherry, warm aromatic clove, all culminating with a fine cedar lining. A FRUIT BOMB!!! In the mouth are deep dark rich concentrated and brooding balanced flavors of juicy ripe blackberry, soothing café mocha, intensified with French oak. The supple tannins and full body of this wine leave the mouth elated and satisfied.
Pair it with slow smoked
