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.

"Spiced plums, chocolate, leafy herbs and underbrush notes all emerge from the 2020 The Ambush Fox Family Vineyard, a medium to full-bodied, ripe, round, sexy blend of 56% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 13% Petite Sirah, and the rest Zinfandel that saw a touch of stems and aging in used 500-liter barrels and puncheons. It has terrific purity, ripe tannins, and outstanding length." ∼ Jeb Dunnuck

"The deep ruby/plum-hued 2020 Syrah Fox Family Vineyard comes from a site outside of Los Olivos and was brought up in three and four-year-old barrels. It's a riper, powerful Syrah with ample black fruits, some peppery, herbal, meaty nuances, lots of mid-palate depth, and ripe yet certainly present tannins. As with all of Blair’s wines, it's impeccably made and shines for its seamless texture and length. Give it a few years and enjoy bottles through 2032." ∼ Jeb Dunnuck

“The 2020 Syrah Kimsey Vineyard has classic Syrah darker, peppery fruits as well as some chocolate, nutty, meaty background nuances. These all carry to a pure, medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced Syrah with ripe, polished tannins and a great finish. It's another singular Syrah from Fox that will evolve for a solid decade." ∼ Jeb Dunnuck

"From sandy soils in the middle of the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2020 Syrah Spear Vineyard shines for its purity and finesse. Ripe red and black fruits, flowers, spice, and dried herbs all make an appearance in the bouquet, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, elegant texture, and a great finish. The balance here is spot on, it has beautifully integrated tannins, acidity, and alcohol, and is another pure, seamless, incredibly impressive Syrah from this estate." - Jeb Dunnuck
