Ojai Roll Ranch Vineyard Syrah is a premium wine produced by Ojai Vineyard, a renowned winery in Ventura County of California. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Roll Ranch Vineyard, which is located in the Ojai Valley and is known for its unique terroir. The vineyard features steep slopes, rocky soils, and a cool climate, which contribute to the wine's complex flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes to shine through. For example, a high percentage of whole bunch grapes are included during maceration, giving the wine a fresher structure and a fine tannin character.

It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a bold and complex wine with a sense of place.
