January 21, 2024 - A beauty at this age. Decanted. Lots of fruit and earth, then quieted down and composed at 2+ hours.

January 26, 2020 - Lots of dark fruit with integrated tannins, well balanced and very long, not to sweet and jammy, excellent wine.

September 11, 2018 - Trademark Syrah barnyard plays over the palate that includes underbrush, pepper and slightly underripe blueberry. Not Brett barnyard, more like animal dung and sweat. The nose shows leather and light aromatic notes. Not outstanding, good, a bit pricey at $30 10 years ago on realease.

February 2, 2018 - A stunningly well-made Syrah with exactly the right balance, integration and proportions. This wine is drinking superbly right now and delivers pure joy. As I have written many times before , tre are few more underrated wines than the ones from Ojai. The 2006 White Hawk delivers the very typical refined and elegant combination of power, elegance and fruit. The fruit is totally on par with all the other components, yet it manages to elevate its voice a bit but certainly in a rather gentle and intriguing manner. Power is expressed by a marvelous 50+ second length on the finish! Despite more than ten years rest there is plenty of both texture and structure. This effort will continue to age well for another five to ten years. A totally brilliant wine!
