Norton from Virginia

[zenda2]

Helping my father move, I turned up a bottle of 1994 Heinrichshaus Cynthiana (Norton) that I gave 'em years ago, hidden in the cool basement. It looks to be in excellent shape. Dad's meds won't let him drink it nowdays, so I brought it home. This one is from my favorite Missouri winery, always produces a well-made wine. Heinrich is a Swiss winemaker who moved to Mid Missouri for the low land prices on Appellation rated winery real estate. If anyone ever tours the Missouri wine country, drop me a line for directions to the winery, it's not a 'tourist spot', hidden away in the woods.

I'll set the bottle aside and include it in the next 'semi-golden oldies' dinner around here, fill in the tasting notes then.
