Joseph Swan Vineyards
Great Oak Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
It is Friday night and tonight I have opened the 2007 Joseph Swan Vineyards Great Oak Vineyard Pinot Noir.
On the nose there is cherry, raspberry, hibiscus, allspice, licorice, vanilla, oak and a good earthiness.
On the palate there is cherry, raspberry, strawberry, allspice, vanilla, light oak and a nice earthiness.
This wine is medium bodied with a fresh and vibrant mouthfeel, medium acidity and a medium fine tannins that leads to a long red fruit earthy finish. A wonderful way to start the weekend. Have a healthy and safe weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Don’t be put off by the color - should age well.

Beautifully aged and easily drinkable with Thanksgiving dinner. Savory warm spices, strawberry. Medium-low tannin.
