Joseph Swan Vineyards
Trenton Estate Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
A bewitching bouquet pairs with an immensely enjoyable palate on this one. First time trying some Swan stuff and it does not disappoint. One of the original Pinot producers in California, especially in the RRV where Zin was king at the time. Unfined and unfiltered, the color is gorgeous see-through ruby with some cloudiness. The nose has some dusty funk on the outset, but then settles into lovely tart cherry notes and exotic floral aromatics. The palate is so soft and textured, light and airy. Beautiful fruit, slight stem inclusion, with some soft spice on the backend. This is about as pure as they come and again, enjoyable beyond measure. What a price point, too!
