点评:Ojai Mountain winery (no relation to Ojai Mountain Farm restaurant in town) is a private vineyard estate perched on the very top of a mountain range above Ojai with spectacular views, focused entirely on growing and making the most exceptional wines.
From the drive up to the tasting itself, the whole experience feels quiet, personal, and very authentic. Wine tasting happens outside overlooking the vineyard, and on a clear day you can see the ocean and the Channel Islands. The view is breathtaking. The sommelier walks you through each wine and explains the vineyard, farming, and winemaking. It is much more like visiting someone’s actual estate than going to a typical tasting room.
The wines are very refined, in the Rhone style (GSM blends along the lines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape). Fresh, elegant, and surprisingly cool-climate for Southern California. It is a very peaceful and special experience. No crowds, no restaurant scene, just vines, mountain air, and really thoughtful wines grown right on the property.
If you are looking for a rare and authentic estate vineyard experience in Ojai, this is unmatched.
翻译:奥海山酒庄(与镇上的奥海山农场餐厅无关)是一座私人葡萄园庄园,坐落在奥海镇上方山脉的顶端,拥有壮丽的景色,专注于种植和酿造最优质的葡萄酒。
从驱车前往酒庄到品酒环节,整个体验都宁静、私密且充满原汁原味。品酒在户外进行,可以俯瞰葡萄园,晴朗的日子里,还能远眺大海和海峡群岛。景色令人叹为观止。侍酒师会为您讲解每一款葡萄酒,并介绍葡萄园、种植和酿造工艺。这更像是参观某人的私人庄园,而不是去普通的品酒室。
这里的葡萄酒非常精致,属于罗纳河谷风格(GSM混酿,类似于教皇新堡葡萄酒)。口感清新优雅,而且对于南加州来说,这里的气候凉爽宜人,令人惊喜。这是一次非常宁静而特别的体验。这里没有熙熙攘攘的人群,没有餐厅,只有葡萄藤、清新的山间空气,以及酒庄自产的精心酿造的葡萄酒。
如果您想在奥海 (Ojai) 体验一次难得一见的纯正庄园葡萄园之旅,这里绝对是您的不二之选。
