Wines
Blair Fox Cellars is passionate about the production of small lot, hand crafted bottlings of wines from the most premium vineyards in Santa Barbara County. All these wines are vineyard designated and you can truly taste the "terroir" in each glass.
We search for vineyards, which produce grapes with beautiful concentration and intense varietal character. These grapes are hand harvested, hand sorted, fermented in small lots, and basket pressed to ensure the highest possible quality and true expression of the vineyard.
We produce predominately vineyard designated Syrah, estate grown Grenache, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Vermentino, and a small amount of Viognier. The red grapes are lightly crushed, partially de-stemmed and punched down by hand throughout fermentation. After fermentation is complete the wines are basket pressed and transferred to French oak barrels for aging. These red wines are aged for two years in barrel prior to being bottled.
The Viognier and Vermentino grapes are hand sorted and whole-cluster pressed to preserve the fresh, floral, and fruity qualities of these amazing varietals. The juice is then fermented in older French oak barrels and a small percentage of stainless steel while preventing malo-lactic fermentation to promote bright, crisp acidity.

"I loved the 2020 Petite Sirah Thompson Vineyard. Plums, blueberries, sagebrush, chocolate, and violet notes all define the aromatics, and it's full-bodied, with classic varietal richness and opulence, yet it stays light on its feet, balanced, and elegant, with a gorgeous finish. It’s up with the finest examples of this variety in California." - Jeb Dunnuck

"TThe 2020 Syrah The Dare checks in as 100% Syrah from a mix of sites including the Zotovich, Fox Family, Tierra Alta, and Larner vineyards that spent 26 months in 25% new oak. Deep ruby/purple-hued with gamey, floral notes of red, blue, and black fruits, leafy herbs, sagebrush, and ground pepper, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a supple, elegant mouthfeel, and ripe, integrated tannins that emerge on the finish." ∼ Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2019 The Ambush Fox Family Vineyard is racy and flamboyant to the core. Dark cherry, plum, leather, licorice and sweet spice are front and center. Time in the glass really brings out the Grenache red-toned fruit in this Grenache/Syrah-based blend." ∼ Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2019 Syrah Fox Family Vineyard is powerful, earthy and savory, with intensely mineral notes that emerge from these rocky soils. Intense dark fruit, chalk, slate, blood orange give this mid-weight, super-expressive Syrah tons of character. It is without question one of the most distinctive wines in the range". ∼ Antonio Galloni

Our 50/50 blend comprised from our very best barrel of Syrah and very best barrel of Petite Sirah from our estate vineyard, Fox Family Vineyard. With only one barrel of each varietal, we are only able to make 49 cases of this amazing wine for our members to enjoy. Cheers!

"The 2019 Linger Fox Family Vineyard, Blair Fox's Syrah/Petite blend, is outrageously
beautiful. Deep red fruit, iron, chalk, white pepper, mint and rose petal open in a Santa Barbara red that dazzles with its combination of fruit intensity and tension."

"It has tons of darker, almost blue fruits as well as notes of
scorched earth, graphite, and peppery herbs. Full-bodied on the palate, ripe, and textured, as well as balanced, this is one heck of a red blend that will keep for a decade. I'm tempted to call it a steak house
red, but it's better than that."

"The 2019 Syrah Larner Vineyard is dense, plush and beautifully layered. Inky dark fruit, sage, lavender, menthol, licorice and cloves build effortlessly. Time in the glass brings out an attractive floral upper register that adds freshness. Superb." ∼ Antonio Galloni
