Found one last bottle of this from the case I bought in 2015... no longer good in 2018 :/ (but giving it an 8 because it was good once upon a time!!)

I still love this wine!! Crisp apples with a bit of grass and citrus. Nothing like a Cali Chardonnay... Instead, it's more like a Malbourough Sauvignon Blanc. Absolutely delicious!!

Fruity, crisp, refreshing. Drinks somewhat like a Sauvignon Blanc. Such a delicious taste of Michigan -- I bought a case!

Michigan Charddy! Incredible-stainless steel barrel. Crisp, dry, apple & a hint of Lake Michigan wafted terroir (I was drunk when I said that). Bought at Byerlys Minnetonka for $16.

Outstanding! This is a fantastic example of what can be done in Michigan. Full as dry with smoothness. A must drink in the summer.

Found a couple left overs from a case I purchased in 2015. Not as great this far from when it was vinted... sweeter than the original, crisp flavor and more minerality than citrus. Still drinkable, though #traversecity

Not much flavor or character. Really liked 2014. Surprised didn't like this vintage.

Very smooth body. Great mouthfeel. Nice and light oak. Honey and apples on the front. A bit astringent on the back. Feels like maybe a year or two too late for opening. Not bad for an adventure. Pairs nicely with fresh made cream of asparagus soup.
