2006 Cambria Pinot Noir – $17

April 25, 2009 by cheapwines 


I heard about this 93 point California Pinot Noir from a wine.com newsletter and had high hopes. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet the high expectations I had from the Wine Enthusiast rating. It’s very rare that you find a highly-rated Pinot Noir under $20. Usually the high ratings on Pinot cause the price to go straight up.

I picked up some cherry and orange flavors. This Pinot out of Santa Maria Valley had decent texture to it but it also carried some sour and burnt flavors that I didn’t care for. The bottom line on this wine is to not be carried away by the rating. In my book it didn’t match up.
