Indigené 2006 Parenthesis Syrah (Santa Maria Valley)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $28
You might almost think this is a Pinot Noir, it’s so silky, crisply acidic and rich in raspberries, cherries, red licorice and sandalwood. That this is a nearly six-year-old Syrah is a surprise, but a pleasant one. It would not have been possible for this wine to taste this young if it weren’t from a cool-climate appellation. Shows the potential of Santa Maria…  — S.H.  (6/1/2012)

Indigené 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Maria Valley)

  1. $24
Just released after nearly eight years, this wine still tastes lively and timely. It’s marked by complex waves of blackberries, mocha, currants, cola and spices, although the fruit is beginning to move into drier, secondary characteristics. It’s delicious, and fully ready to drink now. Give it a decanting, and watch as it changes in the glass.  — S.H.  (6/1/2012)

Indigené 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Carmel Valley)

  1. $29
Huge, ripe flavors of blackberry and plum jam, mocha, black currants, anise and cedar mark this wine, grown in the rugged hills of southern Monterey County. It’s quite tannic and dry, but doesn’t seem to be an ager, so drink up.  — S.H.  (6/1/2012)

Indigené 2007 Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $31
There are some rich cherry and raspberry granola flavors in this wine, but it’s tired. It lacks the vibrancy to give it life and structure. Drink up.  — S.H.  (6/1/2012)
