Norton Wine Review: Tiger Mountain Vineyards has made an effort to introduce into the northeast region of the state three Norton wines. Because we live fairly close by, we made the trip here three times in five years to re-evaluate our original disappointing thoughts of their Norton wines. And the results have us changing our Norton thoughts from 1 star to 3 stars. We came for tasting the 2008 Norton and left with bottles of Viognier, one of the best Petit Mansengs we've ever tasted, Mourvedre, Norton and Tannat. Part of the fun today was being served by a knowledgeable host, ~ thank you Jon. We also enjoyed the contrasting Cabernet Francs, Touriga Nacional and various blends. Tiger Mountain Vineyards serves three Norton wines. Rabun Red is a 40% Norton plus Cab Franc, Tannat, Malbec and Mourvedre blend and is a reasonably priced crowd pleaser. We were also served Mountain Cyn, a 50/50 blend of Norton and Cab Franc. Their $17 value Norton with 6-to-8% Mourvedre is a 'drink now' or hold wine. Somewhere between that $15 and $40 per bottle range, you are going to find a NE Georgia wine surprise.

Hefty price on wines, requiring you buy a large quantity to get a price break.
