Grape To Glass Tasting @ The Winery
We’re planning an exciting harvest event in November—our first Grape To Glass Tasting at the winery, on Saturday November 2nd. We’ll still be in the thick of harvest by then. So, the plan is to host a bunch of our customers to taste every stage of a wine’s life: first by tasting wines that are […]
Our Work At Fe Ciega
It’s wild to think it has already been three years since we acquired Fe Ciega. Right now we are selling the last of our main cuvees of Fe Ciega Pinot Noir from 2021, which was the first vintage under Adam’s stewardship (though we’ve made the wine since 2003). Soon the 2022s will be bottled, and […]
Jeb Dunnuck – July 2024
Reviews by Jeb Dunnuck July 2024 2021 Ojai Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard Ripe black cherries, fresh fig, game, leather, and meaty notes all shine in the 2021 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard, another absolute gem from this team. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and with a great mid-palate, it reminds me a great Hermitage from the […]
Antonio Galloni VINOUS – July 2024
Reviews by Antonio Galloni of VINOUS July, 2024 The Ojai Vineyard Adam Tolmach continues to turn out gorgeous wines that speak to the true reflection of place. The 2023 vintage plays to his strengths when it comes to the whites, which are some of the best I have tasted here in at least a […]

Reviews by Jeb Dunnuck September 2023 2020 Syrah John Sebastiano Vineyard The 2020 Syrah John Sebastiano Vineyard comes from a site on the eastern edge of the Sta. Rita Hills and displays a darker purple/plum hue that’s followed by a gorgeous nose of bright red cherries, blueberries, exotic spring flowers, ground pepper, camphor, and […]
Antonio Galloni VINOUS – September 2023
Reviews by Antonio Galloni of VINOUS September, 2023 The Ojai Vineyard Adam Tolmach is one of the elder statesmen in Santa Barbara, and yet he possesses a child-like enthusiasm that is palpable. Tolmach certainly isn’t resting on his laurels. A few years ago, Tolmach planted his estate vineyard in Ojai with new bio-types developed at […]
Jeb Dunnuck – August 2022
Reviews by Jeb Dunnuck Aug 29th, 2022 2020 Chardonnay Special Bottling – Puerta Del Mar Made in tiny quantities, the 2020 Chardonnay Puerta Del Mar Vineyard Special Bottling is a deeper, richer, more serious Chardonnay that warrants serious attention. Offering classic Chardonnay stone fruits, toasted brioche, and chalky minerality, it hits the palate […]
Antonio Galloni VINOUS – August 2022
Reviews by Antonio Galloni of VINOUS Aug 25th, 2022 The Ojai Vineyard It’s always fascinating to taste with Adam Tolmach and Fabien Castel, as they both have so much insight to offer on Santa Barbra. This year’s tasting was especially significant as it includes the first wines from the Ojai Estate after it was […]
