2019 | Joseph Swan Vineyards Cuvée de Trois Pinot Noir | Russian River Valley Johannisberg revealing layers of dark fruitAs always, a blend of Swans vineyard designated Pinot Noir. Every Pinot Noir is made to be the best it can be with a barrel by barrel selection process just before bottling. As opposed to the vineyard wines, which, by their very nature are idiosyncratic, the attempt with this wine is to make one that represents the whole of the Russian River Valley.
