Rusack 2011 Reserve Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Rusack / Sta. Rita Hills

Rich and impressive, not only for its wealth of concentrated flavor, but for the full-bodied mouthfeel and overall polish. It’s showing flashy cherry, currant and pomegranate fruit now, but the tannins are fairly hefty, while the acidity is brisk and mouthwatering. Wants some time in the cellar. Better after 2016.
