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.
Enjoy a bottle of Blair Fox Cellars today!
Our 50/50 blend comprised from our very best barrel of Syrah and very best barrel of Petite Sirah from our estate vineyard, Fox Family Vineyard. With only one barrel of each varietal, we are only able to make 49 cases of this amazing wine for our members to enjoy. Cheers!

"The 2020 Linger Fox Family Vineyard is a two barrel blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah that spent 28 months in wood. Deep, fleshy and super-expressive, the 2020 hits all the right notes. The blend of Syrah and Petite works beautifully. Even with all its natural richness, the tannins are very nicely integrated. A burst of dark plum fruit, licorice and spice saturate the finish."

"A selection of the best barrel each of Syrah and Petite Sirah, the 2020 Linger Fox Family Vineyard has a darker core of plummy fruit as well as notes of chocolate, candied violets, and exotic spices. It's rich, full-bodied, mouth-filling, and opulent on the palate, yet it holds onto a beautiful sense of purity and freshness, with polished tannins and a great finish."

“Smoky black fruits, ground pepper, cured meats, and sweet baking spices notes all emerge from the 2021 Syrah Fox Family Vineyard, which is medium to full-bodied and brings tons of upfront fruit and texture, has silky tannins, and a great finish. It's another opulent, hedonistic, sexy wine from this label that will provide tons of pleasure over the coming 7-8 years or more.”.

Summer and Rosé go together like crackers and cheese Therefore, our Haylees Rose is the perfect wine for the warm months ahead! Not only is it refreshing by the pool or on the porch (and don't forget a staple for Sunday brunch), but it also pairs beautifully with almost all of your summer fare. Our favorites to enjoy with this wine? Fish or chicken tacos, Mexican cuisine and almost anything on the bbq. Our Haylees Rose adds a brightness to any occassion.

"47% Grenache, 21% Syrah, 21% Petite Sirah, and 11% Zinfandel… with beautiful aromatics of wild strawberries, red plums, spring flowers, and incense-like nuances. It's a ripe, medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced red offering silky tannins, remarkable purity, and a great finish. Drink this sexy, upfront, impossible to resist 2021 over the coming 7-8 years.”
