I'm a big Swan fan, but this one is not my favorite. Nice tart fruit and acidity, but there is a slightly off putting volatile note. Probably better a few years ago.

Wonderful 2007 Saralee"s RRV Pinot by Joseph Swan. Color is lighter than pic shows, slightly turbid. Still bright red fruit, zippy finish. 13% alc. God bless you Saralee - big cheers, you are missed.
