NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Rusack Vineyards Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County enchants the senses with a fragrant nose of ripe red berries, subtle hints of earth, and a delicate whiff of floral notes.On the palate, this Pinot Noir showcases an elegant interplay of flavors—raspberries, cherries, and a touch of cranberry—accentuated by a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. The wine's medium-bodied nature and vibrant acidity make it versatile for food pairing, particularly complementing dishes like grilled salmon or roasted duck. As it unfolds in the glass, subtle nuances of vanilla and a whisper of baking spices linger on the finish, adding depth to the overall experience. With its fine balance, the Rusack Vineyards Pinot Noir is delightful now but also has the potential to evolve; consider cellaring for another 3-5 years to allow its complexities to further unfold.

ORIGINS
Winery: Rusack
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
