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
Damn. Rusty colored with an enormous fruit nose. Elegant. Showing SO BEAUTIFULLY OMG. At the MFW Italian portfolio tasting. — 9 years ago
Stunning orange wine with loads of depth and character. Rustic and rusty as the name Ruscum potentially says? Sister to Lazio Bianco. — 9 years ago
This is an exceptional Merlot and a great value. Tasted against the Knarley Head and Menage a Trois Merlots and it was every bit as good as they were. All three showed well, but based on price the Mut Lynch is a big, rich winner! — 9 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
This wine is very delicious. — 11 years ago
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
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

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!

A bit sweeter but very nice — 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
A bit rusty when first opened but an hour later it was magic — 11 years ago
Bought at barrel tasting weekend. Worth the wait! — 11 years ago

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
