Screams powerful complex Pinot on the nose. Once you dig into the wine more and more layers unwind. Top notch Pinot all around that is super hard to put down.

Very herbal with mint undertone... Really wish it had more cherry appeal.

Smooth and very earthy. Goes well with a chocolate cake and has strong strawberry vibes to it.

Earthy and a bit fruit forward. Typical of Sta Rita Hills. Pairs well with food such as pork. Slight green vegetal quality in taste.

For this wine being a 2014 vintage, it lacks depth and a complexity that I’m used to coming from Rusack. Very light wine throughout hints of black cherry but very shuttle.
