Estate Bottled Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Lovely mature redfruits and earthy notes, still very fresh and quite youthful, very long finish, great balancing acidity!!

Lovely.

Campfire, unagi and roasted plums. Defined and lasting structure here.

This was a very fun wine, so happy to see it stand the test of time. Bright dusty fruit and a lasting acidity.

Love 'em regardless of varietal. Age worthy and complex.

Always a solid performer. No surprises. Nice pairing with Peking Duck.

2008? 2005? Pinot? Syrah? No Pinot? Great experience.

Another beautiful bottle of 1995 Swan Estate Pinot Noir, my notes are consistent from bottles tasted in 2021 and 2022, there is an overt richness and power to this wine, though it’s not overripe (13.7% ABV), just a GREAT Swan Estate, long, lingering finish, and fortunately I have more (purchased a case of this on futures for $180/200, dont remember exactly). Should pair beautifully with some grilled Copper River Alaskan wild salmon, and also a grilled piece of wild King salmon from the Fort Bragg (California) area!!!

Still showing some lovely red cherry fruit, earthy, soft yet noticeable tannins, great acidity, long, lingering finish, wonderful, but needs more time in the cellar!!

Lovely, complex dried red cherry fruit, some earthiness as well, this seems mature and more evolved than the 1996, but absolutely great length and depth, wonderful!
