In a very short time, Jolo Vineyards has become one of the most successful wineries in the Yadkin Valley. Jolo, located in Pilot Mountain, N.C., features one of the most beautiful tasting rooms in the region with a fine restaurant and breathtaking views of Pilot Mountain. The wines are made from French-American Hybrid grapes but vinifera vines have been planted for future harvests.
We are continuing our support of independent wineries during the pandemic period. We took advantage of a Jolo offer of 4 selected wines for a reduced price with free shipping. The package included Crimson Creek Chambourcin, which we have enjoyed in past visits to the tasting room.
The wine pours a deep dark red color with raspberry and spice aromas. The wine was released only a few months after harvest. The wine is more vibrant and light fruit forward than most Chambourcin I have tasted. I note cherry, raspberry and blueberry flavors with a lingering spicy finish. This wine reminds me of a lighter Barbera from Italy. We find this a very tasty medium bodied wine which we paired with grilled salmon.
Crimson Creek is one of Jolo's most popular wines and it sells for $36 per bottle.
SC Wine Joe rating = 90 points
