Montelle
Note: Montelle isn't in Hermann, it's in Augusta. Its worth the trip because the drive is beautiful and so is the winery.
Cynthiana- warms up the mouth. Peppery.
Chambourcin- Lightly oaked. French oak vs. American. Although I detest anything French. The lighter flavor was a welcome departure from the heavily oaked wines that I tasted.
Rose gold- a blush, white zinfandel. Tasted of pears but too sweet for me.
River Country Red-Chianti style wine that was better than the E. S. (can’t even remember what I meant here.)
Strawberry
Blackberry-These wines remind me of eating at IHOP and having all the syrups to choose from. Need a boysenberry wine.
Cynthiana Port-What? Not too bad. I was surprised.
Icewine-made from vidal grapes. Very sweet desert wine.
Framboise-Too sweet.
On 50 wines, 50 states, Andrea Immer recommended the Icewine at Augusta Vineyards. I went there last year and if I had had extra time this year, its not one of the wineries I would have returned to. Not bad, but not up to Stone Hill, Adam Puchta, or Montelle.
