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.

"Baking spices, cedary herbs, sandalwood, and cigar nuances all emerge from the 2020 Zinfandel Basler Block, a plump, darker fruited, medium to full-bodied Zinfandel with a balanced, elegant style on the palate, making it a joy to drink. It should evolve for 5-7 years." - Jeb Dunnuck

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."
Antonio Galloni, wine critic for Vinous

"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 Spear Vineyard is fabulous. Dramatic and layered in the glass, the 2019 is seriously impressive. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, earthiness, tobacco, dried herbs and a good deal of savory intensity from the 30% whole clusters soar out of the glass. Spear is a special site for Syrah, as readers will see in this wine and others off the ranch." ∼ Antonio Galloni

"Ripe black raspberries, blueberries, smoked meat, violets, and earthy nuances all emerge from the 2020 Syrah Zotovich Vineyard, a pure, medium to full-bodied Syrah that brings beautiful varietal aromatics while showing the more exotic, marine-influenced style of the Sta. Rita Hills. With good acidity and fine tannins, it will benefit from just a year or two of bottle age and evolve gracefully over the following decade. This beauty comes from a site on the northern edge of the Sta. Rita Hills and was 70% destemmed and aged 22 months in used barrels." ∼ Jeb Dunnuck
