Cambria Estate Winery
Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir
Santa Maria Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Pours darker than I would have expected. Very earthy on the nose until it opens up, with mushroom and wild hibiscus. Lush and smooth on the palate, with clean raspberry and lively spice, with a finish resembling freshly baked cookies. Really enjoyable, if not lacking a bit of classic santa Maria acidity.

I know I said I was going to stay away from new world Pinot Noir, and this was an impulse buy because of limited selection, but right off the bat it had old world qualities

Funky barnyard nose. Slightly diluted palate. Delicate even for a PN......almost watery.

I enjoyed this #pinot it's very drinkable and enjoyable. It is #under$20 and has a great #qpr We had it with herb crusted chicken on a coal barbecue and it was a perfect pairing. Drink now and can age until 2017.
