Got something to say?
This Cheap Wine was picked up at Farm Fresh(a local grocery store). Horton Vineyards is sold pretty much anywhere that sells wine in the Virginia. Aroma on this $11 wine was oaky and sweet. The flavors I noticed were sweet berries of sort, very oaky and slightly dry at the swallow. The inside of the bottle was stained with sediment. I give this wine a thumbs up. It is very enjoyable.
