NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Ojai White Hawk Vineyard Syrah is an outstanding example of Syrah from the Santa Ynez Valley.On the nose, aromas of violets, red cherries, blackberries, and a hint of cracked pepper jump from the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and plush, with ripe dark berry fruit, a touch of dark chocolate, and hints of fresh herbs. The tannins are well-integrated and silky, providing a balanced and long finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Ojai
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
