Bench Break Pinot Noir

Cambria is a private, family-owned estate winery that produces, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah since its inception in 1987. Dark red almost purple with aromas of tart berry fruits. On the palate raspberry and cranberry with citrus notes with oak tones. Fine tannins on lingering finish ending with a mineral edge.

Cherry, cranberry, rhubarb, raspberry, loamy earth and oak. Good structure and well-integrated tannins.

Very pleasant. Earth profile.

Classic Santa Maria Valley. Hints of strawberry, cherries, touch of earthiness, and great complexity. Opens very nicely with a little time. Little more feminine style of Pinot, super smooth and tasty of course.

Great with steak, lots of cherry. Nice wine. 2014.

Classic Santa Maria Pinot. Very complex in flavors yet very smooth, even better with food or good company.

Sour cherries, damp earth, vanilla, and oak. Touch acidic early, but opens up quickly. Nice example of $20 Pinot.

Needs time, nice to see them dialing back the ripeness, muscular and tannic

From pinot tasting

Filled with strawberry and cherry flavor. Ruby red with a purple ring. Good amount of acid for a Pinot Noir. It’s much better with food, really brings out some spice notes and layers to the finish.
