Merlot often plays second fiddle to Malbec in Argentina, but not here. Norton’s 2023 Reserva Merlot proves the grape has star power of its own. Full of plummy richness, soft tannins, and subtle spice, this bottle is pure Mendoza elegance with a French accent.
Fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak, it hits that sweet spot between fruit and finesse. Whether you’re sipping solo or pairing with food, this one always says yes.
Tasting Notes
Ripe red plum, blackberry compote, and a touch of cocoa. Supple mouthfeel with a light spice finish.
Perfect Pairings
Grilled pork, chicken parm, or truffle pasta. For a local spin? Try it with char siew rice.
Accolades
A hidden gem in the Norton lineup. Elegant, affordable, and endlessly versatile.
Vineyard & Terroir
High-elevation vineyards in Luján de Cuyo with alluvial soils, giving depth and lift to the fruit.
