2008 Joseph Swan Pinot Noir Cuvee De Trois Russian River Valley
Winery notes: "The 2008 C3 is a bit of a departure from the norm. It
is much darker in nature. Darker in color, much darker in fruit and also
darker in its overall presence. It is a wine that I am sure will have
broad appeal. THe C3 sells very quickly each and every year which tells
me that we have achieved our goal which is to produce a pinot noir that
reflects the character of the wonderful area known as the Russian River
Valley, is drinkable at an early age, and works well with food. Sadly,
production was about 60% of what we produced in 2006 and about 2/3rds of
what we made in 2007. As always, nothing was made to be Cuvé de Trois.
It was a barrel-by-barrel selection to decide what went into the C3 and
what went in the vineyard wines. All of them have to be the best wines
we can make from what we have to work with. Get it while you can! 1256
cases were bottled in September of 2009." Rod crafts four consistently fine Pinot Noirs: Cuvee de Trois, Saralee's
Vineyard, Trenton View Vineyard (young vines) and Trenton Estate
Vineyard (the Joseph Swan estate vineyard).
2007 vintage rated 93 points and 'Top 100 Wine of 2009 (#34)' by Wine
Spectator: "Offers great balance and purity of flavor, depth and
complexity built around spicy wild berry, black cherry, mineral, anise
and spice. Full-bodied, fresh and lively. The finish sails on. Drink now
through 2013."
