title: Rusack 2001 Reserve Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: Marginally riper and plusher than Rusack's other two Pinots, but not by a lot. This is still a lean, earthy wine, short on flavor and long on acidity and tannins. Sift through the herbal, bay leaf and sage tastes and you'll find a note of cherry. Aging may help.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Reserve
