Alta Maria Vineyards

Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay 2012

Tangerine, pear, orange blossom, subtle vanilla on the nose, very pleasant and inviting. Medium acidity that raises when the temperature decreases, balance with fruit beautifully, medium body and round. Long lasting with a hint of Creme brûlée and orange pith. 3 years in the bottle has done this wonders. If anything, a touch high alcohol . — 8 years ago

Colson Canyon Syrah

A pleasant inky Syrah from a vineyard just outside the Santa Maria AVA; Tensley has scored well with this wine, and Alta Maria should easily do the same. — 9 years ago
