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.

"Spiced plums, chocolate, leafy herbs and underbrush notes all emerge from the 2020 The Ambush Fox Family Vineyard, a medium to full-bodied, ripe, round, sexy blend of 56% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 13% Petite Sirah, and the rest Zinfandel that saw a touch of stems and aging in used 500-liter barrels and puncheons. It has terrific purity, ripe tannins, and outstanding length." ∼ Jeb Dunnuck

"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

"The 2020 Grenache Fox Family Vineyard checks in as 93% Grenache and 7% Syrah. It's a medium to full-bodied, supple, elegant Grenache o!ering pretty strawberry and assorted red fruits as well as soft tannins, a charming, forward character, and a good finish. From the estate vineyard just outside of Los Olivos and raised in 500-liter barrels, drink bottles over the coming 7-8 years." - Jeb Dunnuck

"The deep ruby/plum-hued 2020 Syrah Fox Family Vineyard comes from a site outside of Los Olivos and was brought up in three and four-year-old barrels. It's a riper, powerful Syrah with ample black fruits, some peppery, herbal, meaty nuances, lots of mid-palate depth, and ripe yet certainly present tannins. As with all of Blair’s wines, it's impeccably made and shines for its seamless texture and length. Give it a few years and enjoy bottles through 2032." ∼ 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
