Vibrant rusty-red colour, slightly brown on the ridges from aging. Pronounced legs. Intense nose of dark cherries and dried plum with chocolate and wood. Medium acidity, strong yet smooth tannins, dark cherries, big mouth-feel and long-lasting finish, fantastic wine! — 7 years ago

Starting to show its age/rusty edge, but a wonderful value for such high quality Napa wine. I wish I had more on the cellar. — 10 years ago
Very good rully. At rusty's with Rusty, Audrey, and Elissa. Pre dinner. — 10 years ago
Rusty color. Slight oxidation. Solid fruit and acid. Drinks light like a white but has notes of light reds like gamay or Pinot. Classic bressan. Weird and delicious. — 11 years ago
One of my favorite Pinot towns. Masculin styled. Big cassis, rusty nail notes. — 11 years ago
Herbal and still rather tannic and youthful. Leather, mushroom, tobacco, thyme, rosemary, dusted plum. Some redder tones emerge from the black fruit core - strawberry even. A pleasant rusty patina with some gentle, welcome bitterness on the finish. — 7 years ago
The 2006 Rusty Shed Chardonnay is a blend of four blocks of Chardonnay on the Flat Rock Property. Grapes are hand picked and hand sorted before whole bunch pressing takes place. It was then cold settled in stainless steel, 100% barrel fermented and left on the lees for 10 months. Wild and commercial yeasts were used for primary fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity. The result?
Beautiful example of a mid to full bodied Chardonnay with butter, vanilla, apples and light spice on the palate. A lot of flavour and elegance at this price point. Sampled this 2006 in 2017 but this should sit well and perhaps develop more for a few more years. Best part? It's from Niagara! Loved it!

No question this vintage has gotten a little funky, but it fills me with joy to drink a wine like this from California soil. Cranberries, rusty iron, cinnamon, redwood bark, tangy and easy...this wine is screaming out that we're finally a wine region with cool shit to discover. — 12 years ago
Cinque Terre means five lands. Yellow with gold hue, lemon and tangerine peel, crushed rock, wet stone and rusty blade. On the palate: slightly flint, high acidity, apricots, lemon curd, yellow bouquet floral note, silky texture with smooth coating in the mouth. Say 12.5 % abv on the label but feel more in the mouth. Min 40% Bosco with Max 40% Albarola/Vermentino combined. — 7 years ago
Beautiful aged smell, bright molasses but old winey, very good, strong, color rusty magenta, wet big comes on so strong so pungent, 2005 seems good now — 7 years ago
A nice Rusty Garnett with nice rim variation.
The nose tells me there's some candied cherry strawberry, potpourri, anise and tar.
The pallatte stays a little lighter than other nebbiolos(true to style-the drink of Queens) but to truly enjoy, enjoy some food with it and decant this thing-the tannins are not joking around. A lovely wine. — 8 years ago
Dense and concentrated for budget Bordeaux. Seven years old but a lot of life left in it. Heavier focus on Cab Franc yields bigger funk at first. An hour in the funk dials down to a more spicy, black pepper quality. Mid palate fruit before rusty, dusty, Brett-y tannins dominate the finish. Tremendous with duck confit appetizer and hangar steak entree. — 8 years ago
Second wine of progressive climate-concious second growth of the left bank; Dark ruby with clear 10-year aging rusty tones; the most dominant on the nose is a exciting minerality with dark red fruits, spices, and oak in the background; taste is silky sweet and very well balanced and with a long elegant finish. Very nice wine that is probably not too many years away from its peak. — 9 years ago
Nice body with a little spice and full rusty flavor on finish — 9 years ago
This looked dead - muddy and rusty...but totally different on the palate. Bright red currants, so amazing, and softened nicely the longer it was open... — 10 years ago
