Black pepper, mineral and berry aromas are integrated and impressive in this Cab. Integrated flavors offer dimension and poise, and substantial structure means it can age. Pair with roast beef or a creamy, aged cheese. An effort to be applauded.

A Claret from Missouri? Adventurers should give this wine a shot. On the nose, it’s delicate and filled with floral and soft, spicy notes. The flavors are somewhat thin and wan though—red berry, pepper, tobacco—and the wine finishes with a slightly bitter edge. Pair with with barbecue—it might fare better.

This dry white starts with a pretty floral nose, leading into flavors of herb, lime and minerals. It needs more balance—lacking fruit—and complexity. Pair it with grilled fish, poultry to maximize its food- friendly character.

Can a wine have a personality complex? Citrus and cream duke it out with this Chardonnay from Missouri, and while there's an appealing nose of toasted oak, on the palate, the Chardonnay is angular and lacks body. Despite the lack of balance, elements of the wine are appealing and it will be enjoyable if paired with chicken or fish.

This intriguing Port-style wine starts with aromas of savory spice, plum and red berry, and offers flavors of chocolate, pepper and berry on the palate. Expressive and serious but not too heavy.

Cassis, vanilla and plum dominate the nose and palate of this Port-style wine from Missouri. Mouthfilling, juicy and creamy at the same time, it has a good balance and a lingering finish.

Ambitious and concentrated, with an inky color and a juicy, mouthwatering palate framed by mature blackberry and raspberry fruit. A pronounced char note on the nose follows through to a medium, slightly tart finish. Try with barbecued pork belly. Already showing signs of earthy maturity, this wine is unlikely to benefit from further aging though the firm acid will allow it to keep another year or two.

Plum, clove, cherry and spice aromas start this lively red from Missouri. On the palate, bright plum and cherry flavors are lifted by a bright acidity. Fruity and friendly, the wine will pair well with beef, fowl and soft cheeses.
