Readers will find a large number of terrific choices in this lineup of new releases from Adam Tolmach and Fabien Castel at Ojai. The entry-level whites are especially fine, as are the 2016 Chardonnays. I find the 2016 Pinots a bit more variable than the Chardonnays, while the 2015 Syrahs are consistently brilliant. As always, the Ojai wines are distinguished by a very hands-off, almost stark approach in which the personality of each site is allowed to be fully expressive. I have also included notes on a few older wines I tasted during my most recent visit.
