TN:2002 Joseph Swan Trenton Estate Pinot Noir - I'll cut to the chase: Its an amazing wine. I like it as much as any California Pinot Noir I have had recently. The nose is intense and complex with aromatic herbs, spice, tea, something savory (wild mushrooms?),and a blast of sexy fruit. On the palate it has very full body feel with flavors of fresh, cola, fantastically tangy and intense berry/cherry fruit. Great grip with perfect amounts of tannin. It has a long tangy finish. Great wine and pretty happy to know of a local store with more of this.


--I have never had a good wine I didnt like.

Qweniden,

I agree, very good stuff. But I didn't care for the '03 as much-- to me, it's somewhat over-ripe. The '02 is yummy.
