60% Pinot Blanc, 35% Pinot Gris, 5% Pinot Noir. Pale yellow green. Duh broke pomme/white orchard fruit nose. Noticeable sweetness. Improved with air. Excellent with drunken noodles, so send to like a bit of umami. Not super complex, but at least as good as many west coast white blends at the same price.

Nice floral tropical fruit thing but a touch of baby fat. Not so long.

Neutral. Inoffensive... but for a super oily mouthfeel.

Another AA7 surprise. Tropical fruits laced with minerals that seemed on verge of imbalance but nicely resolved on palate with good texture. Great food wine again. Be interesting to slip in a blind tasting, how could anyone guess Michigan?! Would rank below the recent PA and VA ones though.

Bouquet is citrusy like lemon peel. Some vanilla in the nose when warmer. Low acidity in flavor. Citrus fruit and pear flavors.
