Favorite Wine: 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon

Drove a bit out of my scheduled trip’s way to take in this interesting horse stable winery setting. Twenty vineyard acres locally at this site and ten acres at a lower elevation in Troutman, NC (near Statesville, NC). All wines tasted were good, at reasonable prices. Most of the time five whites, three rose/table wines and six reds are available. Dog gone it, the ’06 Cabernet Franc was sold out at this time, but a ‘08(?) will be available in a week or so. I enjoyed trying their ’08 Italian Barbera of which they only produced 105 cases (Gold Medal winner at the 2011 Mid-Atlantic Southern Wine Competition). Their ’07 Chambourcin tempted me with its great aromas, but the follow through was rather bland. Their ’06 Cabernet Sauvignon provided the best tasting and if I had not already bought locally other examples, I may have picked up a few bottles of this wine.
