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!! — 21 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.

McHenry Vineyard

Swan Clone Pinot Noir 2022

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. — 10 months ago

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
