| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.7 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Vino Me on 9/1/2015 & rated 89 points: 2015 Wyncroft Winery Visit (Michigan) (7 potentially 90+ wines with 1 classic 95 pointer); 8/29/2015-9/1/2015 (Wyncroft Winery, South Haven, Michigan): Tasted from bottle at the winery. Despite being a cooler year, this wine was ripe. The grapes were picked in November at 19.8 brix and Jim chapitalized the wine. 12.8% alcohol. Solid acidity. These vines were planted in 1989-1990. Gold color. Fine minerality at first with grapefruit notes. Once it warmed up it showed some crushed grape skin flavors as well. Bone dry and expansive on the palate. 89-90 points. (1437 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 8/28/2015 & rated 90 points: Wyncroft Winery Visit (Michigan): From a cool vintage in which some of the grapes were allowed to hang into November, this pale Riesling diplays notes of grapefruit/citrus, lime zest and unripe stone fruit with underlying sulphur and mineral nuances. The fruit on the palate is very nice- pear and stone fruit, with quince and mineral qualities as well. There's good acidity keeping it balanced and lively. We revisited it later on and it had warmed slightly, becoming a bit more rich with a nice honeycomb and pear blossom qualities, but maintaining balance on account of the underlying acid. Impressive. 90-91 pts. (1549 views) | | | Tasted by mnoljo on 1/10/2013 & rated 88 points: enjoyable bright (acidic) medium finish. paired well with our dinner of rotisserie chicken and Caesar salad. I always am amazed with jim's wine from sw mi. (1361 views) | | | Tasted by Vino Me on 9/18/2012 & rated 88 points: 3rd time I have had this wine. Lean and steely. Not as acidic as when I last had it and with less tropical notes. 88 points. (1050 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 9/18/2012 & rated 89 points: Dinner with xhoser: old & new world comparisons (Adelle's, Wheaton): Aromas of petrol, minerals and apple. Has a rich texture and flavors of white fruit, lemon and mineral. 89-90 pts. (2112 views) | | | Tasted by thelostverse on 9/18/2012 & rated 88 points: Brought to CWM dinner at Adelle's by VM. First time I've had an Wyncroft Riesling. Some citrus notes, but I thought this was lacking in acidity to push it over the hump for me.

Almost identical notes as before. Very pretty tropical nose. Dry style with crisp apple notes. A little less oily and fat than last time. 89-90 points.

(1100 views) | | | Tasted by Vino Me on 3/25/2010 & rated 90 points: 2010 Wyncroft Winery Visit; 3/25/2010-3/26/2010 (Wyncroft Winery, Buchanon, Michigan): I tried this at the winery with Jim Lester and a friend. We had originally ordered some of the 2008 a few months ago but Jim thought the 2009 was better after he bottled it in January 2010. Therefore, he asked us to try it when we visited and said we could have our choice of the 2008 or 2009. We chose the 2009. 2009 was a cool year in Southwest Michigan. The grapes for this wine are clone 10 from the Wachau valley. This was a fresh, young, clean and vibrant wine. The nose had mango and passion fruit aromas. It was a light clear straw color. It had steely acidity and a crisp finish. Notes of tart apple and stone fruit. 90 points. (2059 views) |
| Riesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Michigan Michigan Wines (Michigan Grape and Wine Industry Council) |
