- For further information, contact Rod Berglund at: (707) 573-3747 or visit http://www.swanwinery.com Note: from Russian River Valley fruit; 14.6% This too is quite high-toned with slightly candied red pinot fruit wrapped in noticeable oak, which is unusual for a Swan wine. The pretty and nicely defined middle weight flavors are generous, forward and sweet with conspicuous warmth on the velvety finish. This may come into better balance over time but at present, this is a bit awkward.
