Been a while since I visited with Mr. Swan and I have too long been away. Beautiful bright redcurrant, raspberry and bramble with a nice cedar undercurrent.

Just starting to show its stuff, full of RRV typicity with that savory Saralees characteristic.

I mean, it smells exactly like driving down Westside Road in the Russian River.

Gorgeous color of light cranberry-red and un-filtered-ness. Beautiful red berries and hint of current on the nose. Generous and round in the mouth. Still well structured with tannins that will get your attention at the end - looking forward to seeing how the bottle will progress

Dried cranberry, cassis, blackberry, hints of leather. Hot for Swan.

Classic Russian River; bright red fruits abound, refreshing all the way through, tart in the finish
