Tasted these wines with robert from garco..sidenote here the augusta area where mt pleasant is located is the first a.v.a. or american viticultural area granted by the government, this gives wine from that area a commonality, whether in climate, soil or quality.
most of these wines tend to be on the sweeter side but that being said they are not over the top so.
villagio made from chenin blanc, a touch rustic on the finish otherwise nice smooth and sweet no mistaking this for a vouvray but for missouri not bad
rhineland...named for the area of germany that most settlers in mid missouri came from. present company included. style of riesling, sweet apple, viscuous.a blend of the whites in some ways almost like apple juice.
harvest white.. sweet sweet nose, foxy is what i hear that describes that. tastes like grapes and grape juice.
highland red.. dark purple color and tastes like grape juice with a bite. rough and tumble...not too enjoyable on this end
harvest red light color, concord grapes juicy, sweet but surprisingly not over the top
Gustave Thrace 3rd Bottle non vintage pretty cedar nose and buttery which is interesting for a red wine. barbera, cab and zin...this is made by the gentleman featured in "Bottle Shock" the movie about california wine industry.
