Rusack Vineyards Ballard Canyon Estate Syrah 2012
An amazing Syrah from one of our favorite producers in the Santa Barbara Wine Country! Rusack is on fire, and this Syrah is one of the best under $30 we've found this year. 90 Points Wine Spectator: "Racy and focused, with floral black raspberry and graphite aromas and compact but complex flavors of boysenberry, smoky herb and pepper beef. Drink now through 2023."

Blackberries and dark red cherries. Dark cocoa. Pan-seared meat. Straight forward syrah.

Huge hedonistic Syrah from Santa Barbara. I really enjoy this wine, but just a little too much heat tonight. The beautiful dark berry fruit is fantastic and a nice coffee acidic finish, but overall just too big.

Classic Syrah. This is the best Syrah I've had from the region. The nose is distinctly Rusack. The nose produces a musty stinky cheese. This is a fabulous wine and the price is reasonable
