Norman’s latest County Pinot Noir (2011) is a huge step up for Norman and is probably his best County yet, so its sibling, the County Chardonnay, has got a lot to live up to. Nice mineral and limestone show up on the nose, which is to be expected as these vines get older and start to dig a little deeper into the limestone soils of the County. Lime and apple appear on the palate along with clean vibrant acidity. There’s also a creamy texture in the mouth which is quickly washed away by all that lovely acidity. Price: $35.00 – Rating: ****
