Michael Amigoni a local gentleman farmer has started a vineyard from scratch. His vineyard is outside of Warrensburg and I have been able to watch his enthusiasm and dedication to this property grow with each year. After selling his grapes to the likes of Les Bourgeous he decided to process some of them himself, with the help of the new Boulevard Brewery where he can put wines into barrel and temperature control space. The name was chosen because of the nature of the soil which was under water in past epochs.
Sea Turtle Chardonnay American NV pretty floral nose a touch of green apple on the tongue that segues into a little burnt aspirin that reminded me of a spanish cava. also a little CO2. a touch hot from the alcohol.
Sea Turtle Viognier American NV traditional nose of honeysuckle and mint, nice roundness on the palate..not overly sweet with a rustic finish.
Inland Sea Cabernet Franc Missouri 2006 pretty ruby color. quick berry finish and cedar that turns smoky and long. I was impressed with the finish in that it kept showing different flavors. No one would think this was a Missouri wine.
As he becomes more comfortable with his winemaking skills I believe these wines over the next few vintages will just get better and better
