Very unique cider. It is tart and complex and beautiful. The mouthfeel is amazing, and as it opens up the flavors really come out. Definitely tastes like apple, but in a way you could never imagine. — 8 years ago

I preferred this 2011 Norton over their 2010, dryer season for the grapes made it a really smooth wine. Really nice wine to go with a good meal. — 11 years ago

Excellent,,Santa Maria region — 12 years ago
This Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir, from the Dierberg Vineyard in northern Santa Barbara County, is medium-dark in the glass. It brings aromas of earthy raspberry and black cherry, with coffee grounds and a heavy mineral angle. On the palate, it has a boatload of acidity and tannins, with dark berry flavors and hints of black tea. It's a huge Pinot, probably a bit brawnier than my taste likes, but still has an elegant side. It is unapologetic in its California-ness, even from a cool-climate region like the SMV. — 8 years ago

We are so pleased to welcome Horton Norton back to our table. This was a young, 2014 Norton, and given about 30 minutes to open up, it really was lovely. Fruit up front, gorgeous color, plum and tart cherry flavor. Wow. Was AMAZING with a beef and butternut squash stew. — 10 years ago
Blackberry, cassis, loamy earth, mocha, oak and vanilla. Good structure and well-integrated tannins. — 10 years ago
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 — 10 years ago
The very pale color is not too inviting - but don't stop after a glance. The nose send showers of vanilla peaches out in a cloud of soft oak scents. On the palate, rich peach and pear mix with a slight taste of orange peel. The acidity is striking, and a citrus note clings to the lengthy, delicious finish. — 11 years ago
