Very light and fruity. Color a bit brown. Taste is good for pairing with pork with savory sauce. Impressed with the texture of this wine 8 years in the bottle.

This wine screams green olive! It was earthy and briney and had nice balance and acid. — 6 years ago

Perfumed fresh Syrah with grilled steak ($20) Wonderful fragrance and mouth feel, surprised by the alcohol content of 12.5% , thought it was higher — 4 years ago
Great Syrah, young — 6 years ago
Lots of black pepper and sage/rosemary. Slightly gamey. Fruit is very wound up and still coming together. — 8 years ago
Been hunting Ojai Syrahs for a while, and worth the effort. This had nicely mellowed with age to well balanced, mildly spicy rich dark fruit with a nice inner sweetness. Mouthfilling with good length, along with the Halcon Alturas I had recently, this is the first Cali Syrah I’ve enjoyed. Have I found my spot on the Central Coast? — 8 years ago

Clean minerality with nice tannins. Tastes like a European wine in a good way:) — 10 months ago
It doesn’t get much better than this. A beautiful Rhone white blend. Aged better than expected. — 4 years ago
1st year they bottled the Mourvèdre alone. Dunnck calls this a California grand cru and I can see why. One of the highest vineyards in California (above 2500 feet) . Balanced with excellent acidity. So much tension and precision to balance the super pure fruit — 7 years ago
Light cherry red with thin edges. Floral aromatics on the nose along with notes of dark fruits and mild spice. This was such a surprising little gem. That sweet, sweet Anderson Valley fruit shines here. Light bodied with wonderful balance, there’s a freshness going on that really pleases. More dark fruits, mint, dry herbs, and white flowers on the palate. Really nice the first day, even better the second. This is a Pinot lover’s Pinot. — 8 years ago

So freaking good! Fresh, fruity, earth, olive, hint of game meat, it’s California but it’s also a nod to northern rhone. One of the best syrahs in California. — 5 months ago
