TN: 2006 Joseph Swan Vineyards Pinot Noir Great Oak Vineyard

  • 2006 Joseph Swan Vineyards Pinot Noir Great Oak Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (6/28/2009)
    Popped and poured at…um…70 degrees…then chilled to 60 degs…Verdict: don’t bother with this right now (2009). Started off quite lite, with not much to distinguish this from any lite red…it filled in the PN notes very nicely after 30 mins, but at this point it’s an acid-dominated bitch and doesn’t want to hear from you…

OK, it’s enjoyable now on a Sunday nite with Chicken avec mustard/parmesan coating, but (what a surprise), it will reward 1-20 years of cellaring.
