2019 Joseph Swan Vineyards Cuvee de Trois Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, USA Giant Steps Wine violets and spice boxAs 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.
