Description

Named after the Cambria Estate Winery's matriarch, Barbara's Signature Pinot Noir is sustainably-crafted from a singular type of Pinot Noir– clone 667– Barbara's favorite, of course. This powerful pinot is bursting with vivid aromas and flavors of cranberry, wild cherry, and blueberry. It's hallmark silkiness is complemented by fresh earth and spice giving it a long finish. Built for aging, Cambria's Signature wines are perfect to gift or for when you want to sip on something extra special.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Dark, dense and mysterious, the 2018 Pinot Noir Barbara's Clone 667 is superb. Succulent dark cherry, plum, chocolate, spice and licorice build in an ample, full-bodied Pinot that is all charm. I would give the tannins a few years to soften. The 2018 is beautifully done. There is real substance and gravitas here.
