The 2007 harvest will mark the 25th year of winemaking at The Ojai Vineyard. "I take an uncompromising approach to the goal of making the best wine possible and spend lavishly on any aspect that helps me toward that aim. Because of the detailed work we are doing in the vineyards to insure each cluster is evenly ripened, we are moving against the current trend and picking slightly less ripe, and by doing so are achieving intensely flavored wines that are better balanced. I have a healthy skepticism of new techniques and equipment - my focus is on presenting a pure expression of a vineyard site." Adam Tolmach, owner and winemaker
