Rusack Vineyards Ballard Canyon Estate Syrah Reserve 2016 Review

This wine is only available online but is a good example of balanced American Syrah. It has a nice full weight on the palate, while expressing great acidity so it won’t overwhelm a dish. There are really awesome savory notes that will remind you of cooking herbs and ripe olives. This bottle with a steak dinner would be a nice pairing.
