Alta Mesa, Central Valley

Alta Maria Vineyards

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. — 11 years ago

Layers of bright cherry with soft earthy notes. — 11 years ago

Alta Colina

Toasted Slope Estate Syrah 2010

Opaque violet color with appealing graphite, toast, smoke, black fruit, and spice aromas. On the palate it medium-bodied, fresh and harmoniously structured with a supple texture, and well integrated fine tannins with black cherry, black raspberry, a hint of dark roast coffee, and subtle spice flavor accented with an wonderful minerality. Long finish. 15.5% alcohol — 11 years ago

Alta Colina

Baja Colina Red Rhone Blend 2011

Baja Colina is a nice red with a sweet, fruity nose and a body of pepper and oak. — 11 years ago
