New release of Ojai's fantastic Santa Barbara Pinot Noir. Limited. previous vintage 92 Points Robert Parker: "The 2018 Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County has a pale to medium ruby-purple color and elegant scents of black tea leaves, cola, forest floor and red and black cherry fruits. The palate is light to medium-bodied and silky in texture with layers of earth, fruit and citrusy accents, finishing long. 1,115 cases produced." Robert Parker: "...This is a fabulous set of wines from Ojai. Winemaker/Proprietor Adam Tolmach and Assistant Winemaker Fabien Castel hit the ball out of the park with a number of these new releases. Frankly, I am not sure where to start, as there are so many wines here that are worthy of serious consideration... As a consumer, sometimes it feels there are no great values left in California. Ojai is a rare exception. These wines deliver the goods (and then some) yet remain exceptionally fairly priced."
