1996 Swanson Napa Estate

[winoweenie]

With a beautiful property in Oakville this pristine property used to sell their grapes. They now are making a first-class wine instead. Deep ruby, this classicly structured bottle shows both red and black fruits, spices, bakers cocoa, and a whiff of the famed Rutherford Dust. Lots of ageing potential with velvety tannins in the mix. Haas some Merlot, and maybe cab franc in the blend but nothing on the lable to give %s'. Since 94 always up there with the big boys and faitly priced. 91/95. 26 by the box.WW
