Wine: Ojai: Sauvignon Blanc

Price Range: $25-$50

We tasted the Ojai Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc and were pleasantly surprised.  This is a single Vineyard wine from Ojai’s Westerly Vineyard on the Central Coast of California.  Ojai only produces about 6000 cases, divided between 15 bottling’s.

  The wine is Crisp and clean, highly aromatic.  You would expect grapefruit and this Sauvignon Blanc doesn’t disappoint.  Alongside the grapefruit is hints of mango and a solid peach finish.  Mineral notes are present throughout.

Vineyard

Ojai Vineyard

The Ojai Vineyard, owned by Adam & Helen Tolmach, works closely with a dozen different vineyards on the Central Coast of California and produces wines from syrah, grenache, mourvedre, pinot noir, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and viognier. About 6000 cases are produced each year, divided between 15 bottlings, most of which are vineyard designated wines.

The key to producing special wine is in the care taken growing the grapes. There is an inverse relationship between quantity and quality when it comes to grapes, so rather than purchasing ours by the ton, we have long term agreements with our growers to buy the fruit by the acre. This lets us culture the vines and thin the crop to our strict specifications, yet allows the grower to receive a fair return.

In the winery we like to watch the development of the wine carefully, yet prefer to do as little as possible. Experience has shown us that the least amount of moving, pumping, fining and filtering is always best. The ultimate objective is to show off the distinctive character of a vineyard site.

We publish two newsletters a year (spring and fall), in which we offer our wines in advance of delivery at discounted prices to our mailing list customers. If you would like to be placed on our mailing list please sign up here or fax us your mailing address information. If you are interested in ordering wines that are currently available from The Ojai Vineyard please see our order form.

The Ojai Vineyard is not open for tours or tasting.
