Horton has long been a leader among Virginia wineries thanks to experimentation with many grape, and got great results from Rkatsiteli, an excellent variety originating from the country of Georgia. Medium-bodied, it offers very pleasant notes recalling dried apricots and yellow melon with accents of honeycomb and orange zest.
Dynamic, with bold black currant, chalky tannins, and a breezy acidity. Taste the soil and sunshine, with a backdrop of graphite, soy sauce, and the ripest of blackberry. Spending 16 months in French oak results in a seamless texture.
Spiced berries are juicy and lined with cedar and red tea. Tannins are present, and melt across the palate, revealing a saline mineral tone. Cinnamon and mocha spark an energetic finish.
Bright and charming, with tart cranberry, thyme, red licorice, and an earthy core. Mid-palate toasted caramel apple and Bing cherry are illuminated by a zing of white pepper and fresh acidity.
Brisk and lean, with wet stone, grapefruit, and thyme. Tart and spirited, with an inner vibrancy.
A blend of 30% Teraldego, 26% Syrah, 17% Merlot, 12% Touriga Nacional, with fractions of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot. Full-bodied, ripe, and rich, with delicious flavors of plum and mocha. An emphasis of sweet oak and baking spices linger on the finish.
Broad and bold, with luscious notes of dark cherry-infused black tea and a pinch of sweet basil. Its satin mouthfeel, juicy and floral-toned, has a savory charm, lifted with a bloom of rosebuds.
An Earth Mother, generous and savory, with tilled soil, cigar leaf, pomegranate, and red cherry. Its keen acidity reflects on the vanilla spice finish.
