Norton Wine Review: Abingdon Vineyard is not near the core center of Virginia wineries, but in the far west stretch of I-81 in a delightful town which offers tourist biking, theater & gastronomic surprises. And one of these attractions is a family operated winery. What a nice cross section of very reasonably priced wines, including their Norton and Norton blend wines. A dry Norton ($15) table wine can be found here, but for those that wish to have an ever so slightly sweeter Norton, try their 'Our Special Red' ($16 barrel aged blend of Cabernet Franc, Chambourcin and Norton). I've down graded, but maybe a bit generous, my rating since our last visit in 2010. Their Norton wine today is 'thinner' than in years past with less bouquet and not holding deep typical flavors. Weather and harvest could have lots to do with this current production. I will return to this delightful location in the years to come to taste their future Norton wines.

It's really off by it self, the small creek runs into the river right in front of your eyes. A beautiful place to visit. Has a very nice selections of wines to choose from. Anyone around the area must go to try it!
