What to Expect

Cabenet Sauvignon: Originally of French origins, this versatile grape produces exceptional wines around the globe. It's usually medium to full bodied with a fine structure that supports black and red fruit flavors with typical notes of olive, chili and herbs that add complexity.

Winemakers Notes

Our 2002 Crescendo Meritage represents a new era in winemaking at Norman Vineyards. Our best lots of fruit were used to make this extremely complex wine—our “Elite Collection” Meritage. It opens with a beautiful nose of currants and black cherry, which are soon joined by nuances of cloves, vanilla, tobacco and a touch of cedery oak. The palate is multidimensional with nice round fruit tannins and lasting touches of cherry, chocolate and spice. The wine is lovely to drink today and should age well over the next 4-7 years. A very food friendly wine, Crescendo also shows wonderfully alone. read more...
