Mueller 1999 Russian River " Emily's Cuvee "

[winoweenie]

Holy Patootie! Looking at this as I poured it I thunked I'd grabbed a bottle of cab instead of pinot. Almost opaque, but with huge fruits in the glass that said " Me Big Pinot Feller " Every-thing about this wine is big.Entry, Center and finish , PLUS I couldn't believe that this sucker had 14.5% alcohol as it wasn't the least bit hot. Me Like. The other 11 will be allowed to rest for another 3-4 years before trying again. Bucko, this is bigger than the McCreas! Brings back memories of the late 70's and early 80's Joe Swans. WW

Man! If it is like the Swans of the 70s, you better latch onto a case of this puppy. I was drinking late 70s Swan Zins and Pinots up until 1997, when I drank them all.

Barnsey and Bucko, sorry about ignoring these posts but I musta' spaced it, or was outta' town. The price was 34 at the case price, and yes Bucko, I was priviliged to drink every wine Joe made from his 68 home-made for drinking only zin to his
87's, his last hands on bottlings. And believe me, this sucker will really remind you of his 70s pinots. The only reason I pulled this thread back up was the article in the Speculator.By jove the weenier found a blind acorn or sumpin' like that. WW
