Tasting notes
The 2019 Pinot Noir Doc's Ranch Vineyard Swan & Calera Selection is bright and effusive, with lovely aromatic presence to play off a core of red-toned fruit. Brisk acids and veins of tannin lend palpable energy throughout. This really sizzles with tension. Give it a few years to soften. Time in the glass brings out striking inner perfume and tons of class.

Also ruby-hued, the 2019 Pinot Noir Doc's Ranch Vineyard Swan & Calera Selection is beautiful, with a floral perfume of lavender, pure red cherry, and five spices. Medium-bodied with more concentration on the mid-palate, it has ripe tannins, a gravelly texture, refreshing lift, and a long finish. Drink 2024-2034. Ross Cobb and his parents founded his eponymous winery in 2001, with the original parcels planted by his mother Diane in 1989. With a focus on single-vineyard Pinot Noir offerings, he also produces high-quality Riesling and Chardonnay. Marking the 21st vintage for the estate, followers of his wines will notice that he’s just updated the wine labels for the first time.
The 2019 Pinot Noir Doc's Ranch Swan & Calera Selection has a medium ruby color and deep aromas of pomegranate, blood orange, iron, wilted roses and decaying leaves, gaining more aromatic nuance with each return to the glass. The medium-bodied palate offers surprising fruit intensity for its delicate frame, and it finishes with tremendous length and layer after layer of spicy fruit.
