Rusty Red is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon blend with a bit of Barbera and Syrah. Truly luscious and big, loaded with acidity and supple tannins to stand up to whatever it's paired with.

An aroma of ripe dark cherry, caramel, pepper and a palate filled with bright acidity and a hint of vanilla to finish.To have known Rusty is to understand why dogs are (hu)man's best friend. A joy at home or afield, he was one of the best bird pointing Labradors in the country.

A toast to Rusty: He was protective, yet playful; assertive,but not over-bearing; bold yet sweet. Like this wine, he was one of the best.

Cheers!
