Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 2, 2018 - Last bottle was 2.5 years ago. This bottle is even better.
The wine appears light ruby at the core, fading to a tawny rim. It has thrown quite a bit of sediment and is a bit cloudy in appearance.
The nose is quite refreshing, with bright red pinot fruits, lots of cooking spices, some background vanilla bean, a hint of coffee grounds, and some wet forest floor aromas.
On the palate, the wine is medium in body, with striking and immediate red fruit flavors, with spicecake, and cola, followed by a citrusy freshness and lightly refined tannins that show up on the cheeks in the medium length finish.
This is a very good RRV Pinot, very textbook in the best of ways. I am always brought back to the possibilities of truly great PN in California when I taste Swan wines.
