Ojai vineyard is some serious Central Coast yum. They focus on single vineyards and channel each vineyards uniqueness straight to the glass!
Solomon Hills Chardonnay - aromas of pear and earth. Precision and grace in the texture that leads to a rounding subtle finish.
Bien Nacido Chardonnay - Big nose, with pear and coconut notes [french oak?], High acidity [very food friendly], Still retains intense chardonnay mouth-filling flavors.
Thompson Vineyard Grenache - Looking for something different? This Grenache is perhaps the best choice for all around yum with dinner. And a tremendous turkey wine [turkey is a game bird, NOT chicken!] Then this wine is for you Full flavor, aromatic, and complex red fruits swirling around for several minutes into a long layered finish.
Santa Maria Valley Syrah - Bold fruit aromas and toast scream into dark-plumy-goodness, finishes with pepper and floral notes.
Santa Barbara County Syrah - Peppery aromas waver into exotic spices that dance on the palate. Fruity-ness holds on to keep the wine refreshing then dives into mother-earth in the finish.
Sta Rita Hills "Fe Ciega vineyard" Pinot Noir – Floral notes give way to blackberry fruits [not typical strawberry?] slams into an intense damp earth and racy spices in the finish.

I loved the 2005 Santa Maria Syrah- bold ripe fruit; nice savory depth; juicy acidity; and firm tannins.
It was even better the 2nd day after sitting in a half filled bottle for a day; maintaining great structure.
Can't wait to try the 2006 Fe Ciega Pinot!
