The Winery: Cambria
The Wine: 2007 Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir
The Price: $19.99 at QFC (marked down from $26.99)
I didn't set out for a Pinot Noir tonight, but the sale price made it irresistible.
The wine was stopped with a natural cork. I decanted it 30 minutes before reviewing it. The wine is a dark burgundy color.
The wine has aromas of plums, berries and cherries. The wine has a very rich and well-developed boquet.
This is a good Pinot Noir, with flavors of berry and plum. It has a very rich, velvety flavor. While it's good now, I think it would benefit from further aging. At $20, this is a very good Pinot Noir at a bargain price. It is one of the few California Pinot Noirs that can compete with the Pinot Noirs of the Northwest.
