Rusack 2001 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Rusack / Santa Barbara County

There’s a lot of unripeness going on here, showing up as lean, tobaccoey flavors verging on mint. Drinks acidic and thin, and while there are some black cherry flavors, the wine is basically herbal. Yet it’s not without its charms.
