Cuvaison, Napa Valley, Los Carneros (California) Pinot Noir 2017

 With its emphasis on elegance this single vineyard wine from Cuvaison may convince you that not all Pinot Noir from California needs to be overtly rich and ripe.  Indeed, “Swan” is light and silky on the palate, offering discreet red fruits and a cleansing finish. It is also comparatively low in alcohol (13.4%).
