We spend most of the year working with our growers to get them to do everything just right, then at harvest there is only a moment in time to capture the grapes at their peak. For the winemaker, the real work begins as the grapes come in from the field--worrying over every one of the thousand decisions that ultimately determine how the wine works out. Being so intimately involved with a wine for so long I’m ready to take a break from it after bottling, and sometimes avoid tasting it for a while to gain a little perspective. <o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p> <o:p _moz-userdefined=""> </o:p>This is one of those wines that I hadn’t tasted for close to a year, so I was taken by surprise with its dramatic aroma! It’s all coffee and exotic spices presented in a forward, sexy way. It’s so alluring! The flavors are just as compelling, balancing richness and concentration with vintage 2005’s best attributes: freshness and liveliness. Sure, it could use more time in the bottle, but it is a pleasure to drink today.<o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p> <LI>SKU: 05SYM Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Category7" TITLE="Current Red Wines">Current Red Wines</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product65 TITLE="2006 FE CIEGA Pinot Noir">2006 FE CIEGA Pinot Noir</A> -- 2006 FE CIEGA Pinot Noir <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product66 TITLE="2005 THOMPSON Syrah">2005 THOMPSON Syrah</A> -- 2005 THOMPSON Syrah <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product67 TITLE="2005 BIEN NACIDO Syrah">2005 BIEN NACIDO Syrah</A> -- 2005 BIEN NACIDO Syrah <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product43 TITLE="2006 GRENACHE">2006 GRENACHE</A> -- 2006 GRENACHE <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product35 TITLE="2006 SYRAH">2006 SYRAH</A> -- 2006 SYRAH <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product12 TITLE="2004 THOMPSON Syrah">2004 THOMPSON Syrah</A> -- 2004 THOMPSON Syrah <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product49 TITLE="2006 BIEN NACIDO Pinot Noir">2006 BIEN NACIDO Pinot Noir</A> -- 2006 BIEN NACIDO Pinot Noir- Santa Maria Valley <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product32 TITLE="2004 BIEN NACIDO Syrah">2004 BIEN NACIDO Syrah</A> -- 2004 BIEN NACIDO Syrah <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/ojai" TITLE="THE OJAI VINEYARD Products">THE OJAI VINEYARD Products</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">pinot noir</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">syrah</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">sauvignon blanc</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">chardonnay</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">grenache</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">california wine</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">ojai wine</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">best california pinot</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">best wine value</A> THE OJAI VINEYARD <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
