Jasper NV J-W Rosé (Iowa)

  1. $13
An inventive blend of Catawba and Marachel Foch, a French-American hybrid between Goldriesling and an American vine called vitis riparia, this rosé has a heavily perfumed nose and a slightly clumsy combination of sweetness and spicy red. Still, the wine has a fresh finish and some structure that recommends it to myriad food pairings.  — S.K.  (10/1/2008)

Jasper 2007 Seyval Blanc (Iowa)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $16
Sweet butter and caramel notes linger amidst smoke and char on this unabashedly oaky, full-bodied Iowa Seyval Blanc. Savory pressed apple flavors are pleasant but subdued.  — A.I.  (2/1/2012)

Jasper NV Black Road White (Iowa)

  1. $13
This exotic white blend from Iowa offers aromas of orange and citrus with a minerally zip, and on the palate, is a bit on the sweet and curvy side. Not terribly inspired but still pretty, it will pair well with Asian cuisine.  — S.K.  (10/1/2008)

Jasper 2006 Roy's Vineyard at Cherry Creek Chancellor (Iowa)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
Anyone who doesn’t like barnyard smells will want to steer clear of this funky example from Iowa. The crisp palate shows some cherry notes and little tannin. Finishes with some oily, ashy notes.  — W.E.  (2/1/2009)

Jasper NV Behind the Shed Red (Iowa)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $14
Theres a bitterness and tartness here that overpowers any simple but good red fruit and spice flavors the wine might offer. Prominent acid and a tea-leaf edge add to the confusion.  — S.K.  (7/1/2008)
