JUNE WINE OF THE MONTH
CAMBRIA CLONE 4, PINOT NOIR 2015
Santa Maria Valley, Central Coast, California
$7.50 glass | $28 Bottle
Rated 90 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2015 Pinot Noir Clone 4 was the most impressive of the offerings from Cambria, and the best value too, wafting
from the glass with a complex nose of spice, cocoa nib, plums, cherries and soil. On the palate, the wine is supple,
plush and expansive, with velvety tannins, juicy acids, good concentration and length and a saline, savory finish.
