Tasted Monday, August 28, 2006 by winefool with 598 views
This was a really fun tasting at Al's with his signature smoked shimp and beef bourg... Jim and Raylynn Lester joined us an offered up a very wide range of their wines including some older vintages (including many that I didn't get notes in for).

2003 Wyncroft Shou Avonlea Vineyard 93 Points
USA, Michigan, Lake Michigan Shore
I thought the single best wine in a wide ranging lineup of Wyncrofts (many that didn't make the notes). This wine had great depth of fruit with wonderful cab franc character. Could easily compete in California at the price point. 93-94 pts.
