The Norton Wine Travelers

Location: SC

Wine: Winery: Ambiance: Jan 04, 2010

Norton Wine Review: This is a winery that successfully attempts to offer an extensive selection of locally grown grapes and produced wines. As for their Norton wine, I would say that Horton's mission is to introduce to the general public a good Norton blended wine (75% Norton, 13% Mourvedre, 6% Syrah, 4% Tannat, 3% Grenache) at a fair price and to this they unquestionably succeed. Norton wine is not a wine that most people automatically love to drink, but generally learn to enjoy after comparing with other local wines or other Norton wines. This Norton is a good starter (only $12) and then refine your taste to other available selections. Norton wines tend to be a developed taste which takes a bit of getting use to in enjoying. The first small sip taste generally is tart or sour, followed by a more acceptable palate, etc. When visiting the Horton Vineyards, give yourself ample time to taste and relax. It will be crowded, but the servers are very patient and pick up quickly on your likes and dislikes.

Favorite Wine: Rkatsiteli

This was our favorite vineyard, if for no other reason than the tasting was free. :) They had the widest variety of wines and probably the favorite of all the wines we tasted, the Rkatsiteli. Very imformative employees and a lot of fun to visit.

Cool place. Visited back in early 2000s. Dennis was friendly and the place was very laidback. Horton's Norton was the fav. Interestingly enough Larry Stone gave some good reviews of the wine.

Favorite Wine: Late Harvest Viognier

Excellent wine selection, we found several desert wines that my wife enjoyed, couple of semi-dry whites suitable for sharing with friends, and reds for that special dinner. The folks there were great. They have a super tasting bar that will get you hooked. I would return again
