An absolutely brilliant offering from Adam Tolmach at The Ojai Vineyard. Haven't had this one since 2006. Drinking beautifully, this wine has developed so well. I think years ago Adam was characterized as picking his fruit too late, but now he's at the forefront of picking the grapes early enough to still retain enough acidity to allow it to age. This wine has character and complexity to put "modern" wines to shame. Cheers to old-school wine making...and to The Ojai Vineyard!
