Like the Chardonnay from this vineyard, it produces an intensely flavored wine. The site is so close to the Pacific Ocean with its cool breezes, that fruit set is chronically poor so we never have a big crop. This gives Ojai a wine that has tons of character and they've found that by extracting the flavors from the grape skins more gently during fermentation they make a friendlier and better balanced wine. And even with this special treatment the wine is far from meek, it's a bold offering with lots to say!
