Community Tasting Notes 2

  December 29, 2014 - 30+ wines in Michigan (The Goldberg's): This is the second label for Wyncroft. This sees no oak at all. Apparently it went thru full ML over the course of winter as it sat on its lees but in a tank. I found it very nice. I am one who doesn't like a lot of oak in my whites. This is clean on the nose with some minerals and lemon. On the palate, quite refreshing with a nice acidity. Nice texture. I think this retails around $20 and it is a great value at that price.

  September 9, 2014 - Marland Winery Visit (Wyncroft Winery, South Haven, Michigan): Tasted a tank sample at the winery. This was going to be bottled within a week or so after I tried it. This was a very interesting Chardonnay. The fermentation in stainless steel of this wine stopped because of the extreme cold last winter and proceeded very slowly after that with the wine remaining on the lees. The fermentation finally finished in March 2014. A very savory nose on this wine. This received a full malolactic fermentaion but did not have the slightest hint of butteriness. Jim attributed this to a wild strain of bacteria which is native to Southwest Michigan (a French laboratory actually asked for a sample of the wine for testing). This wine had a yeasty and green apple taste with a steely profile. 87+ points.
