2008 Joseph Swan Saralee's Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 750ml

Quick Overview

Although not a dark wine, it is much darker than usual for Saralee’s. Aromas of dark berries, cherries and stone fruit. Ripe but very vibrant. In the mouth it is quite full yet its brilliant acidity keeps it fresh and refreshing. Soft tannins and a very slight hint of French Oak add a little bit of spice and structure.

WINE ENTHUSIAST RATING: 94

WINE ENTHUSIAST REVIEW: A worthy followup to the 2007, perhaps not as immediately flamboyant, but a major Pinot Noir to age in the cellar. Shows flashy cherry and raspberry fruit, with tantalizingly rich spices and a perfect coating of sweet, smoky oak. Fine and delicious now, after decanting, and should develop over this decade.
