Alta Maria 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Ynez Valley, California Wine, 750ml. Ruby red in color. Black currant, tobacco, earth and spice box bouquet. Black cherry and pomegranate flavors interlace an elegant body, framed by a long, polished tannin finish.
Alta Maria 2009, Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley, 750ml. A lovely, sophisticated Pinot Noir, marked by a modest alcohol level and the transparent, silky texture the variety should have. With crisp acidity and fine tannins, it shows dry, complex flavors of berries, cola, pomegranates, sugared herb tea and dusty spices. Should develop over the next six years. — 91 pts.
