The Ojai Vineyard
John Sebastiano Vineyard Syrah
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
Smoked meats, cherry and sugarplum in the nose. Said same follows through with a hint of cinnamon. Decently lengthy finish. Light-medium body. Best thing about this wine is that it walks the nearly impossibly thin tightrope between pinot noir (stylistically and body-wise) and syrah (while still having some back end chutzpah). Could match this up with nearly any meat or fish if you’re stupid enuff to spoil it with food. I think I paid $27 for it. May hafta go back for a case.
