A hard, rough, unfocused type of Malbec. It’s all over the map and it just doesn’t come together in a way that makes you want to spend much time with it.

Better than in previous years but still brambly and stemmy smelling. The palate is sheer and fairly hollow in the center, with simple buttery raspberry flavors. Shows bits of burnt wood, oil and heat on the finish.

Berry and spice meet in a delicate combination in this Michigan Pinot, but the overall character is edgy and acidic with a forward tartness. The wine has promise but lacks integration and style.

This Bordeaux blend falls flat with a weak, vanilla-laden nose and flavors that tend toward watery. There’s some berry in the beginning but little beyond.

Vanilla, blackberry and juicy fruit on the nose lead into a wine that falls flat on the palate. Traces of violet and raspberry are overridden by a smoky, burnt edge.
