Swan Clone Pinot Noir 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2022 “Swan Clone” pours a pale garnet color with a transparent core, medium viscosity and no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with mostly tart red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, herbs and underbrush along with some warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Lean and fresh, this needs quite a bit of time to flesh out. Drink now with sights set towards the future but this will be better after 2027 and through 2042. Only 75 cases made. — 3 months ago

Swan Terrace Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2018

Strongest Pinot Noir I have had. “Masculine “ to the extreme. It’s a mistake to open this wine now. Maybe in five years. I can tell this wine is well-made but it is not close to being ready to drink. — 22 days ago

Trenton Estate Vineyard Syrah 2006

This smells like a Syrah version of the Swan Estate Pinot in this vintage, big, ripe black fruits, 15% ABV, but not at all hot, great acidity balances this, very fine CA Syrah! — 6 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, yep, it’s more than drinkable, I still have a few more bottles left. Last bottle before this one was also quite good.

Russian River Valley Mourvèdre 1999

Thick and dark fruited, richer than the 1999 Swan Estate Syrah also open, this shows a little of that tree bark note I sometimes get in domestic Mourvèdre, long finish, very fine (from a RRV vineyard planted in 1910). — 7 months ago
