title: Rusack 2013 Solomon Hills VIneyard Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Roasting meat, raspberries, sagebrush, cola, crushed coffee, red roses and a Dr Pepper scent show on the nose of this bottling from a vineyard that overlooks Highway 101. The palate shows lots of chipped slate and pencil lead, yet surrounds a black raspberry and tart pomegranate core, clinging to citrus-rind elements on the edges.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Solomon Hills VIneyard
