Product Description
This wine offers a compelling blend of cool-climate restraint and Syrah power—deep dark fruit, savory herb nuance and fine minerality combine into an elegant yet expressive red that rewards attention. It’s poised and complex, offering richness without heaviness.
Origins & Craftsmanship
From Santa Barbara County, California, this 2023 "Clima Frío" Syrah by The Ojai Vineyard draws fruit from two distinct cooler-climate sites—one in the Sta. Rita Hills and another just west of Los Alamos. The vineyards benefit from ocean-influenced temperatures and long ripening seasons that preserve freshness and depth. Whole or partial whole-cluster fermentation (depending on lot) and careful oak aging facilitate textural complexity and preserve site character. The intention: a Rhône-style Syrah with coastal California vitality and precision.
Tasting Profile
Nose: Aromas of blackberry and black raspberry are layered with violet spice, warm pepper, olive tapenade and a subtle balsamic lift—bringing savory and floral tones together.
Palate: Medium to full-bodied yet lithe, with rich dark fruit framed by dusty black pepper, game-meat nuance, leather and savory herbs (rosemary/thyme). A firm mineral thread and bright acidity keep the wine lifted and structured.
Finish: Long and composed, the finish lingers with dark berry skin, peppery spice, olive brine and a whisper of earth and graphite—refined, persistent and inviting another sip.
