Beautiful bouquet of candied fruit, pepper, cardamom and tar. Cherry and raspberry preserves, soft velvety mouth feel and a long finish. Love this wine! 😁 — 4 years ago
2010! Probably buried in the basement the entire time. I was expecting a dead bottle. I am actually glad I didn’t open it in 2013. This bottle has plenty of life today and surely can go for a longer nap. Peak? Maybe. Cheers! — 4 months ago
Delightful. Great, light, flavorful Pinot - drinking really well. Paired w/ tasty toasted goat cheese crostini + light spinach salad w/ balsamic/mustard. I think Ojai pinots are a treat & great value. — 4 years ago

The V.2023 Brick Barn Viognier is actually the very first from this vineyard, located in the west of Buellton, outside Santa Rita Hills AVA in Santa Barbara County, California.
Aromatic enough to open up your olfactory senses with some fresh cantaloupe, honeysuckle, and ripe white peach. The palate opens with a burst of ripen lychee, punchy lime and some caramelized tasted. Thanks to the natural MLF and aged in its lees for 7+ months, the mouthfeel has some roundness, complexity and tension on the very end of the finish, but remains deliciously intense making it a medium+ body with some hints of salinity and a subtle touch of sliced ginger. Simply delicious, cheers!
