title: Rusack 2013 Santa Catalina Island Vineyard Zinfandel (California)
description: This ambitious, against-all-odds island project with ancient grapevines is showing promising results, in this case offering smoked meats, hard spice and very tight purple fruit on the nose. The palate is tart with cranberries and raspberries, with a pencil lead and earth character, proving quite interesting if not entirely Zin-like.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Santa Catalina Island Vineyard
