Cambria Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2006
Why Buy: One of the best Pinots in its price range. Recently selected Wine Enthusiast's #1 wine of 2009.
Price : $20
Details:
You'll get a nose-full of tart cherry and berries with some lavender and a bit of rosemary. The taste is like a sunny country roadside stop to pick fresh, tart, wild, brambly salmon berries, black berries, and blueberries.
Notes: Wine Enthusiast gave this 93 points. It's not a 93 in my book, but it is quite tasty for the price. For something fun, try it chilled.
Occasion and Pairing: Great with roast or fried chicken, home made mac-n-cheese, and hot dogs. Yes, hot dogs. Family picnics, Sunday afternoons, and evenings on the deck.
State: California
Region: Central Coast
