About
Swanson Vineyards owns 100 acres along the Oakville Cross Road in Oakville, located adjacent to Opus One and Silver Oak Cellars. Swanson soils are part of geological history dating back to the formation of Napa Valley. Tectonic-plate movements and volcanic activity pushed up mountains to the east and west of the Napa River, while simultaneously displacing the ocean bottom downward in the southern part of the valley.
Review
2007: 92 Points, “This statuesque Cab has the gift of being appealing now and yet capable of real aging. From one of Napa Valley’s most serious small wineries, this is a sleek, polished Cabernet with integrity. It shows impressive concentration of fruit character on both the nose and palate, in its notes of dark berries, cassis and subtle tobacco. The wine’s texture is as rich as its flavors, but the firm structure of oak and acidity keeps the richness from being excessive. You can cellar this wine for ten years or even more -- or drink it now. $75” Wine Review Online, Apr 19, 2011
