This was a touch muted at first but when it opened up OMFG. So amazingly beautiful and delicious — 19 days ago

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

Pale ruby in color; candied cherries, hibiscus, and potting soil on the nose; medium acidity; low tannins; tastes raspberries, cranberries, and wet slate with a long finish. Nellie and I love it. — 9 months ago

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. — 23 days ago

Red fruit still holding in light bodied and more rustic Pinot. — 4 months ago

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

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
