Twelve Barrel Ranch

The Ojai Vineyard

Roll Ranch Special Bottling Lot EH Syrah 1998

Steven Foster
9.6

A Syrah that showed no signs of age. Just a tiny bit of tertiary flavors now, color was bright and bold, aromas young and fruity. Lot EH was only a barrel I believe. Very complex and loads of black pepper that wafted off into blue fruit and meatiness. — 10 years ago

Ramey Wine Cellars

Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2012

"Medium-light golden yellow color; attractive, spicy, baked apple aroma with a hint of cinnamon; medium-full body; slightly fleshy, crisp apple and pear flavors with good depth and intensity; lingering aftertaste. Very highly recommended."
- Nick Ponomareff, California Grapevine, March 2014

Our appellation Chardonnays are given less new oak - twenty to twenty-five percent - and spend less time in barrel - twelve months - than the single-vineyard wines, but otherwise are made identically to them. This includes whole-cluster pressing for delicacy, native-yeast fermentation, aging sur lies with bâtonnage, and full native malolactic fermentation.
