Cambria Julia's Pinot Noir offers fresh cherry, blueberry, strawberry and cranberry fruit flavors accented with cinnamon and vanilla oak spice characters. The mid-palate has a silky texture and balanced tannins that lead into a fruity and earthy finish. "Light crimson hue. Inviting scents of wild cherry and raspberry with secondary nuances of thistle and white pepper. Juicy flavors of black cherry and raspberry. Velvety tannins and hints of vanilla and allspice in the cherry-driven close." 90 Points: The Wine News. "This is the best Pinot Noir at this price on the market. Easily. It's picture-perfect cool climate, absolutely dry and silky, with complex flavors of cherries, Mandarin orange, cola, pomegranates, licorice and cinnamon spice, made even richer by smoky oak. Just lovely, and gets even better as it breathes in the glass." 93 Points: Wine Enthusiast.
A pinot wine tends to be of light to medium body with an aroma reminiscent of black cherry, raspberry or currant.

Pinot wines are among the most popular in the world. The release of the movie “Sideways” in 2004 may have been a factor in Pinot noir’s increased popularity in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
