Item Description

This mixed lot contains three bottles of Wine -

1. Syrah 2011 Joesph Swan Vineyards

"Racy, vibrant, violet-laced fruit reminiscent of French plums and licorice with a bit of leather. Amazing brightness to the fruit. Mouthwatering acidity brings you back for just one more sip. The depth of tannins and the vibrant acidity allow for great aging potential.

From a cool vintage, the 2011 Syrah Trenton Estate (there's 4% Viognier) reveals a saturated ruby/plum color as well as a rich, smoky bouquet of black fruits, rare meats, crushed rocks, and spice. Reminding me of a mature Hermitage, it's medium to full-bodied, has good acidity, ripe tannins, and plenty of character. It should keep for a decade or more. I'd happily drink it."-Joesph Swan Website

3.  Woodenhead Russian River Valley Zinfandel, Bertoli Vineyard 2015

"Deep aromatics of plums, black licorice, musk rose, spice and toasty oak. A monster wine. Mouthfuls of boysenberries, black tea and dark plum flavors. Fruit forward, almost nuclear! A zin fanatics zin. This one will wow you. Deep, big, ripe and juicy. The flavors go on and on. Sometimes these vines are simply amazing, this being one of thoe years. Acid and tannin balance is perfect, at least to my taste. Don’t wait on this one, buy now, drink now. I predict it will sell out fast!!! Burgers, steaks, nachos! Enjoy!"- Woodenhead Website

More about the Winery

The winery was named by Joe Swan when he founded it forty eight years ago. Joe came to winemaking from an unlikely background. In 1967 he purchased a small farm on Laguna Road near the town of Forestville in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. The property consisted of 13 acres of old Zinfandel vines, fruit trees and pasture along with several structures including an old barn and a nearly 100 year old house.

Although nearly 50 years old, Joseph Swan Vineyards is still young at heart. The passion and curiosity that Joe Swan brought to his craft are still evident in the winery today. Located in the heart of the famed Russian River Valley, now often proclaimed ground zero for great pinot noir, we embrace the artisanal spirit that defines this amazing growing region. The wineries roots were in old vine zinfandel and estate chardonnay and pinot noir. Today, we continue to embrace those wines but also, in recognition of the amazing quality and personality grapes grown by talented and dedicated winegrowers can achieve in this wonderful region, we have added a number of other wines to our portfolio. Each of our wines is a unique expression of its terroir and the vintage. While all carry the hallmark winery signature of balance and personality, they span a broad range of aromas, flavors and textures. As our winemaker often says, “the journey is often more exciting than the destination”. Come and join the journey with us!
