Cambria 2010 Julia’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Julia’s Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Cambria / Santa Maria Valley

This is a big, fleshy wine, with evident tannins and acidity that give it bite and structure. The flavors are ripe and pure, suggesting red and black cherry pie filling, with lots of dusty spice and a hint of sweet oak. It will be very nice now and over the next 4–5 years. And with more than 22,000 cases produced, it should be relatively easy to find.
