Norton Wine Review: What a delightful 2008 Norton wine "case" gift from my daughters traveling from MA to SC. Seemingly this is an award winning Norton wine from a rather new setting. From BOW comes this note - "This is the first wine to take best red in an international competition since the 1800s." Upon opening my first bottle, this was a good Norton wine which currently displays high tannins and a lack of maturity. I will get back to you in four years when I open the second bottle . . . . . . . . Now as for BOW ambiance, our daughters noted that this was a beautiful facility which unfortunately was very crowded and loud. They stated it took them over 20 minutes to get service on a pre-ordered case of wine.
