jowler creek winery

A missouri winery Jowler Creek came in the store today and had 6 wines to try. The winery is located in Platte County and sells direct.

Norton 2007 dark purple color and fruity nose but of watermellon. spice and clove pretty on the tongue but a quick finish.

Chambourcin 2007 much the same color but more weight and flavors. pretty spice, american oak. quick finish but fun. this will be in the store

Butterfly Blush 2007 a light salman color, made from catawba grapes, a bit of CO 2 sweet but not overly so. this will be in the store.

Vignoles 2007 unique nose, almost like a pine tar..retsina aromas, sweet but missing something in the middle.

Critter Cuvee 2007 a blend and what the Vignoles was mising, it had a little more weight and interesting flavors. again not overly sweet finish. this will be in the store.

Nort 2007 a port style wine.. by law nothing made outside of Portugal can use the name port so they called it Nort since it was made from Norton grapes..
brickish purple color, caramel and fruity on the nose and palate. think of it as liquid fruitcake. This will also be in the store.
