Clone 5

Pinot Noir 2011

Dark cherries and a hint of berry to the nose. Very smooth after Pallet. Beautiful color. Very good vintage 2011. Usually I'm going Oregon if it's Pino Noir however, I'm very happy with this. Santa Barbara — 8 years ago

Chimney Rock

Clone 7 Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Black cherries, cloves, leather and tar. It's a ripe, overt Napa Cab that has an attractive balance and surprisingly silly tannins. Approachable now but would be happy to cellar this for a while longer.

Enjoyed at Simon and The Whale in NYC paired with the Simon Burger, which was beautifully prepared, if rather fussy with endless aiolis and such like.

Fess Parker

Clone 115 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2011

I prefer my Pinot on the leaner and lighter side, but this is too delicious to snub. Deep, brambly, almost inky, with well integrated acid and alcohol (14.1), concentration and structure. These are things that 15 years ago I would not have said about a Fess Parker pinot noir. A serious, well made wine. — 9 years ago

Clone 7

Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

2012 enjoyed in April 2015. Dark ruby in color with a slight sunset around the edge. Chalky/earth & plum jam nose. Soft tannins and a slight chewy fruit... finish gives you a little jawlock with every taste. Takes an hour or two to open up. Great value at $14 bucks (HEB R/S) — 9 years ago

Clone 115 Pinot Noir 2012

The 2012 vintage wines lacked a little power the previous year's vintage displayed. Still, the '12 Cambria Pinot Noir 'Clone 115' had rich dark cherry and spice aromas that pleased the senses. Firm tannins on the spicy finish will undoubtably soften with a little more bottle age. — 10 years ago

Block 8 - Clone 777 Revana Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

12’ Alexana Revana Vineyard Block 8 . The very best five barrels each year. 11 months in barrel, additional 14 months in bottle before release.

A complete waste if you don’t decant this for two hours. Gorgeous color. Nose- Dried flowers & hint of spearmint. Palate- Dark raspberries, dark stone fruits, spices, black pepper. Touch of cola.
Moderate acidity. This would benefit with a little more age.
@Martin G Rivard Santa with another delivery to my door. Can’t thank you enough. Love you buddy!

Was a 9.2 yesterday, but after sitting overnight it definitely improved. The wood seems more integrated and the whole thing is more vibrant. Nice balance of fruit and earth. I'll hang on to my other bottle of this for awhile. — 8 years ago

Clone 23 Pinot Noir 2011

Another stunning effort was the '11 Cambria Pinot Noir 'Clone 23'. It's was amazing to detect the subtle variations the different clones made on the aromatic and flavor profiles. This effort showcased creamy dark fruit flavors on the mouth with lush sweet tannins on the lingering finish. — 10 years ago
