2021 | The Ojai Vineyard | Syrah

Our aim with this wine is to capture Santa Barbara County’s potential for gorgeous cool-climate Syrah. This 2021 bottling does that doubly so, as this vintage was particularly cool for our breezy locale. The wine exudes Syrah’s exotic and botanical side—it floods your nose with scents of spiced dark berries and herby olives, bacon fat, and big wafts of violets and peonies.

Producer Information

The Ojai Vineyard was founded by Santa Barbara wine pioneer Adam Tolmach. Adam’s winemaking adventure began at UC Davis’s Department of Viticulture and Enology. After graduating, Adam settled down on a piece of land in Ojai to farm sweet corn and melons. But soon after he found his way back to enology, working at Zaca Mesa Winery. This is where Adam met many of his winemaking contemporaries, including Jim Clendenen. The two would eventually chart their own path to stardom and create Au Bon Climat. At the same time, Adam began his own project by planting vines on his Ojai property and by 1983 had produced the very first bottling of The Ojai Vineyard. Fast forward four decades, The Ojai Vineyard remains independently owned and has been lauded as a model for natural winemaking in the Central Coast of California.
