Exceptional! Brick and brown color, but still possesses sparkle. Intense tertiary aromas and flavors of dried herbs and spices. Peppery, spicy and pithy with cherry liqueur flavors, yet retains enough black cherry to preserve tension and freshness. Throwing sediment, but not overwhelmingly so. Cambria was really in the sweet spot in the aught years. I've had plenty of red Burgs that cost way more and deliver way less. At its fullest potential right now, and at 18+ yrs still has some runway. Amazing accomplishment for a $40 btl.

Lush notes of cherry, vanilla and toasty oak lead to a hint of mushroom. Supper-ripe, big syled pinot, that can't quite hide it's 16% alc. Fans of big, in your face pinots will enjoy this best. Drink now- 2011. 88pts.
