In 2017, the Thomas Fire devastated Ojai Alisal with most of the Syrah and Malbec vines lost to the fire, all of which have since been replanted. In 2019, we had enough production from the surviving vines to co-ferment for this release. For the first time equal parts Syrah and Malbec, this deep ruby red wine shows dark fruit, tobacco and leather on the nose, and on the palate plums, black cherry, pepper, mushrooms and earth.

In 2016 we harvested our Mourvedre for the first time, and we had small but excellent crops of both Syrah and Mourvedre harvested on the same day. We took a risk and decided to co-ferment both varietals and the results are amazing! Flavors of tart cherries, chewy red fruit, chocolate, coffee and a bit of pepper with beautiful rounded tannins and a long finish.
Best of the Best!
