2023 vintage. New concept for Ojai. They ditched the Santa Barbara County Cuvées (which lacked any singularly great characteristic-it was just juice) and going into this Clima Frío game. Slightly less brusque than the old SBCC pinot efforts but less body and quite delightful. Echoes of a red sangria here. Wouldn't exactly be opposed to dropping a few chunky ice cubes into a glass of this during those triple digits days in the SYV (versus a rosé or white). Cheers! 7.23.24.
