Ojai Viognier Bien Nacido Vineyard

The finest Viognier Ojai has yet produced is the 2004 Viognier Bien Nacido Vineyard. Yields were a minuscule .5 tons of fruit per acre, which no doubt accounts for the extraordinary concentration, the greenish hue to the light straw color, and the wonderful minerality this wine possesses. It exhibits all the Viognier hallmark characteristics of peach jam, apricots, and honeysuckle along with loads of minerality, definition, and a nobility that is rare in California Viognier. It should drink well for 1-2 years, possibly longer.I was not able to taste through the full line-up of Ojai’s 2004 Syrahs, but I did see barrel samples of the Bien Nacido, Thompson Vineyard, White Hawk Vineyard, and Roll Ranch. They all appear to be sensational Syrahs with distinctive extroverted aromatic profiles and concentrated palates. It should be another highly successful vintage for Adam Tolmach, who has not missed a beat since he began making Syrah at the Ojai Vineyard in 1983.(Not yet released)Tel. (805) 649-1674
