This wine is made from a careful selection of the finest Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, picked from Bodega Norton’s oldest estate vineyards. The unique blend is aged in French oak barrels for 16 months and then in bottle for another 14 months. Each of Gernot’s 4,988 numbered bottles expresses the spirit and vision of the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e94 POINTS\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etimatkin.com\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2017 vintage\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e93 POINTS\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Advocate\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2017 vintage\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eView all press reviews\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHARVEST NOTE\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2017 growing season in Mendoza featured very low yields but very good quality from the grapes that were harvested. The season began with a very cool spring which brought some frosts in September and October. January brought considerably warmer temperatures before returning to historically average temperatures in February and March. The dry summer growing season brought optimal ripeness to the red varietals, which were harvested from early March to mid-April. The wines show good balance between maturity, ripeness, and acidity.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTASTING NOTE\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBodega Norton, with its traditional vineyards in Lujan de Cuyo, introduces a wine with red and black fruits aromas.
