The Ojai Vineyard

89 PTS STEPHEN TANZER. The '03 Ojai Santa Barbara County Syrah has perfumed aromas of raspberry, flowers and chocolate, with an intriguing suggestion of dried herbs; silky on entry with juicy flavors.

91 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. The '02 Ojai Bien Nacido Syrah exhibits a big, spicy, earthy bouquet with hints of incense, camphor, dried herbs, pepper, blackberries, and cassis; full-bodied and deep.

93 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '00 Ojai Pisoni Pinot Noir has extraordinary richness, depth and concentration, with deep plum, raspberry and black cherry fruit that's plush and polished; gorgeous wine.

A delicious, straightforward style, this '99 Syrah is packed with blackberry and cassis fruit flavors that are both plump and chewy.
