More bifferslob from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. This is the current release from Ojai of their Red TW. This is usually a blend of whatever is left over in the tank after racking off the lees when they bottle their reds. Usually it is mostly PinotNoir & Syrah. The lees are then given a light filteration, bttld up as Ojai Red (or White), and pushed out the door for a song. It is almost always a very good value and can even age for several yrs. This latest Ojai Red is particularly good.
