Russian River Valley Mourvèdre 1997

From an old Russian River vineyard planted in 1910, checking in at 12.5% ABV, this is a remarkable old-vine Mourvèdre that shows tree bark, redfruits, and amazing freshness and acidity given its 28 years old, great complexity and length, I can’t remember the production level, but guessing at most 100 or so cases, simply another great wine made by Rod Berglund at Swan!! — 22 days ago

I’d place bets this vineyard has since been grubbed up to plant Pinot Noir. But I’d like to be proven wrong!

@Tom Casagrande, I’m pretty sure you’re correct.

@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.

Trenton View Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Perhaps too young at 9? Cranberry almost orange creamsicle like nose with thicker jammy body notes of licorice all throughout and a sharp finish — 2 years ago

Trenton Station Russian River Valley Syrah 2011

Stopped by Joseph Swan for a quick tasting flight this afternoon, this wasn’t on the flight but since the 2013 Syrah was so fabulous, picked up a bottle of the 2011 to pair with some great cheese we bought, this shows inky color, mostly black fruits, complexity yet still so very young, medium-long finish, 11 years old going on 3, needs more aging!! — 3 years ago
