July 30, 2018 - Tasted at the winery. Clean and very pale in color. Lower aromatics but good fruit on the palate with lemon notes. 86 points.

I am biased though since I own a Pinot Noir vineyard in Southwest Michigan. Nonetheless, Southwest Michigan has a long way to go but the growth in vineyard acreage and number of producers has really taken off.
