Relatively nearby, you might also like Driftwood estates, exceptionally good (and obscure) is Lost Maples. Flat Creek is excellent but likely a hike for you, up to Marbell Falls and bang a right…
I found the best wines in Texas were warm weather, southern Med type grapes, Viognier (Driftwoods is quite excellent and affordable), Sangiovese, Malbec, Mourvèdre, etc…
You want Texas Bordeaux grapes (cab, merlot, etc.) IMHO you need to have someone sourcing grapes from the high plains, not growing them IN Hill Country itself. Better for the grapes, they get to blowsy grown in Hill Country itself. (IMHO)
The evolution in Texas wine quality since I first seriously investigated (in 2007) is amazing. I actually moved over 2 cases BACK from Texas here to NH (and I had to do all the moving of all my wine, and everything else, myself with PODS). It’s fast becoming world-class, yet with it’s own style.
Lemme know what you think of Sisterdale, it’s UBER remote/low-key
