Cambria Pinot Noir Bench Break Vineyard 2001

Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesNot the latest release but still it is fun to drink. This is serious big time pinot noir with bits of chocolate white pepper and mint on the nose. Very ripe and round ― mouth filling with spicy jammy dark coloured fruit that best reflects the clones 2A and 23 that are planted in the vineyard. The 2003 is already sold out so we await the 2004.Tasted: 29 September 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
