  Opened a magnum of this wine at an offline. One of only 4 magnums bottled. Made from purchased grapes sourced from a small vineyard located in Glenn, MI in the Fennville AVA. The vineyard is a mix of sand and clay. The grapes were picked at 22.2 brix and yielded enough juice to make 26 cases (1 barrel). This seemed to be on the decline and did not have the definition of the previous tastings I've had. Burnt red color. A little funk on the nose. More old world in style. Notes of black licorice and cherries. 88 points.

  From magnum. Cherry fruit with a dominant stemmy/woody overtone. Cranberry and tart red fruit on the palate. Softened acidity. Nice. Courtesy of VM.

  Ruby with very slight bricking. Holding up well with red cherries and spice (wife detected lemon pepper). Balanced with mild tannins and medium finish. Glad I held onto this vs earlier consumption. Slightly diminished fruit and lowered acidity made this a good accompaniment to chicken alfredo pasta dish. One of the best MI pinots I've tasted.

  Agree with the previous notes. Good character and surprised by how ripe this was for such a tough vintage. Would have guessed Pinot from Oregon. Aging well.

  From a bottle at the winery that Jim had opened the day before. Tasted while we were checking the sugar, ph and acid in my 2016 Pinot Noir. No formal notes. 91 points.
