Producer Information
Rusack Vineyards handcrafts wines that have become known around the world for their striking elegance, robust yet silky fruit, and seductive finish–reminiscent of the rolling hills of Ballard Canyon at dusk. Established in 1995 by the husband and wife team of Geoff Rusack and Alison Wrigley Rusack, the forty-eight acre Ballard Canyon estate is planted with seventeen acres of grapes. Syrah, one of the varietals that initially drew the world’s attention to Ballard Canyon, make up approximately half of the estate vines. Interspersed with these are smaller blocks of Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel. Additionally, several rows of Merlot and Petit Verdot are grown for blending into Rusack Vineyards’ renowned “Anacapa,” a Bordeaux-style red blend. The Rusacks’ commitment to producing world-class wines was clearly evidenced when, following the 2001 harvest, they replanted the vast majority of the vineyard in realigned rows. These rows precisely followed the hillside contours, allowing for good drainage and optimal sun exposure and even ripening of the fruit. The new alignment also reduced soil erosion, while a new, state-of-the art irrigation system afforded precise moisture control along with enhanced water conservation. The reward for all of this work: a new paradigm for what Ballard Canyon has to offer, and more importantly, absolutely delicious wine!
