The Ojai Vineyard
Santa Barbara County Syrah
Great interplay of weighty black/blue fruit and savory Syrah undertones; sage, olive, menthol, crushed violet. The wine has freshness and life as well, a total bang for the buck that fits right in at the table.

My first Ojai wine and I’m a big fan. Laced with black pepper and lavender classic of Syrah. Lean body but not flimsy or tart.

Jan 30th, 2016Perfect, in a way. No pyrazene, no stewed prunes. Pointed acidity, superb structure, great length, although closed. Expect greatness in a few years.
