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. — 7 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. — 8 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 — 9 years ago
