Wyncroft Winery Visit (Michigan): Another cool vintage, this was tighter than the '09 but displayed great varietal character with stone and diesel notes under orchard fruit qualities. Flavors of limestone and orchard fruit on the palate, developing an earthy clay-like quality as it opened and warmed. Not as bright as the 2009, I felt the acidity was softer and the wine suffered slightly as a result, though I think I was a minority of one with this opinion. Still, a very solid Riesling.

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. First time I have had this wine. Another cool year but warmer than 2009 and as a result, Jim did not have to chapitalize this wine. A little bit of petrol on the nose. As this wine warmed up it became more aromatic with floral aromas. Fruitier than the 2009. This wine is in its prime now. Long legs with moderate acidity. Notes of smoke, pears and apples. Dry Austrian in style. Well balanced. 90 points
