Reviews by Matthew Luczy, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate October 2024 2021 Syrah – Duvarita The 2021 Syrah Duvarita Vineyard was destemmed and aged 16 months in neutral barrels.

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.

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 […]
