A very good offering from Cambria. I will say that compared to many other mid-state Pinots, this is really good, however, I think some of their other offerings are superior. Cherries on the nose, but almost like they had been roasted over a fire. Cherry, strawberry and something a bit tropical...guava perhaps, not sure. It tasted fine, but was missing some of the depth of many Cambria wines. Fine if it were $18, but it was twice that much.

Strawberry color (5). Aromas (14) and flavors (18) of berries and cherries--very fruity with low tannin--smooth velvet. The aftertaste is aftertaste is aftertaste of cherries! That's no typo--the aftertaste keeps returning. (5).

Very powerful Pinot that can easily stand up to barbecue ribs

2009 Pinot on the River Grand Tasting (112 wines tasted) (Rodney Strong Vineyard, Healdsburg, California): From magnum - red fruit nose; soft red fruit palate, okay but low in acidity and simple; medium finish
