Sipping Fine Wine

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.

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.

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.

An incredibly flavorful noir, light body, with hints of cherry, blackberry, and a slight citrus tang.

Easy to drink. Full bodied grape-ness. Would recommend for casual nights :)
