Red Wines
The Syrah grapes came from a very steep hillside block of Clone 1 planted in shallow calcareous soils. Located in the Ballard Canyon of Santa Barbara County with a cool marine influence and long, cool growing season these grapes possessed excellent purity and depth while the vineyard produced a meager 2.3 tons per acre crop with excellent concentration.

"The 2019 Petite Sirah Fox Family Vineyard is dense and opulent to the core. Inky dark blue/purplish fruit, licorice, chocolate and spice are turned up. Blair Fox has done an admirable job in taming the formidable young Petite tannins. I would give the 2019 a few years to settle. This is another impressive wine in in the range". ∼ Antonio Galloni

"The 2019 Syrah Zotovich Vineyard is laced with dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, mint, sweet tobacco, black pepper and scorched earth. The 30%
whole clusters lend quite a bit of savory complexity this vibrant, delineated Syrah. This is an exceptional rendition of Zotovich Syrah." ∼ Antonio Galloni

"The 2019 Grenache Fox Family Vineyard is terrific. Bright and complex, with notable depth, the 2019 is packed with varietal aromas and flavors.
Crushed red berries, rose petal, mint and blood orange build in a fleshy, succulent Grenache that hits all the right notes". - Antoni Galloni

"The 2019 Syrah The Dare is a selection of the best barrels in the cellar. This exuberant, racy Syrah packs quite the punch. Dark fruit, leather, spice
and menthol play off a core of super-ripe dark fruit." ∼ Antonio Galloni

"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

"More ground pepper, leather, cured meats, and savory herbs notes define the 2018 Syrah The Dare, a 100% Syrah sourced from the finest barrels of Kimsey, Fox Family, Larner, Zotovich, Thompson, and Tierra Alta Vineyards. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, and concentrated, it has a complex, savory, layered, Hermitage-like style that's going to shine for a good 7-8 years." ∼ Jeb Dunnuck

"This site has produced a perfumed, savory, complex red ...Violets, incense, herbs de Provence, and loads of pepper all flow to a medium to full-bodied, seamless wine that shines both for its complexity as well as richness and length. This is a brilliant, elegant, classic high-quality California Syrah" - Jeb Dennuck of the 2016 vintage
