description: Swan is the old, pre-Dijon clonal selection used by so many wineries. The wine has a youthful character, a little sharp right now, but there's brilliant promise. Crisp in acids, fairly tannic, but loaded with dramatically ripe cherry and pomegranate fruit, this is one to lay down. Best after 2008, but fine now with a rich duck presentation.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Ramal Vineyard Swan Selection
