Tasting - Horton Vineyards Chateau le Cabin Blueberry Wine

Name: Horton Vineyards Chateau Le Cabin Blueberry Wine
Variety: Blueberry and Petit Verdot
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: NV
Price: $12

Winery Review: These fruit wines are the result of my hobby gone wild and the long lost dream of Chateau Le Cabin finally coming true.  In the early 1980's the great Horton experiment began in my log cabin in Aroda, Virginia.  The cabin's cellar was full of home winemaking gear and very small barrels full of the first tastes of Horton wine.  That little cabin was the start of this endeavor and these fruit wines celebrate that home winemaking spirit.


My Review:
Fruity with sweet smelling fragrances on the nose filled predominantly with blueberries and a hint of pine needles. The taste is sweet but not overbearing. Very fruity like sipping liquid blueberries. There was a light vanilla component. Smooth short finish. I loved this wine.
