Cobbler Mountain Cellars– A Newer Vineyard in the DC Area

Standard

In the last blog, we revisited Barrel Oak Winery and Three Foxes Vineyard.  A new winery has appeared just a mile or so from these establishments called Cobbler Mountain Cellars.  The tasting room is very quaint and located in the basement of the owners’ home.  It has a very “cellar- like” feel which I find refreshing for a winery.  The owners are very friendly and the wines are good.  The winery is also pet friendly with a large field on a hill located outside the tasting room.  The winery hosts snow tubing on this when able.  There are also several hiking trails located on the winery grounds which would make this a great destination location for an afternoon.

The Cobblestone White is a blend of riesling, viognier, seyval blanc, and vidal blanc.  It is good with a carmel taste at the end.  The Malbec is very good with a very berry nose.  The Meritage is a Sonoma Valley medal winner and is very good. It is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, malbec, cabernet franc, and petit verdot. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot were also very good, as was the Cabernet Franc.  The winery also hosts two dessert wines made from maple syrup– the Maple Reserve Amber and Maple Reserve Special Dark. These were both very interesting and unique, although I am not a dessert wine person.

I would recommend a stop at this winery,

if you want to get in a hike with your wine or if you are a red drinker. The reds are all very good and the hiking trails add a little something special to this winery.
