Offers the same high-pitched, mineral-driven citrus profile of the St. Vincent but with added elements of yellow plum and pungent herbs.

Although this is the same wine as the #1 Wine of the Year from the Wine Enthusiast that got 93 points, it is a "non-Estate" bottling. What does that mean? Well, Cambria had initially sent the wine out to be blended elsewhere. Fortunately for fans of this wine, however, before it got blended elsewhere it was returned to Cambria to once again get sold under the "Julia's Vineyard" label. But, since it was sent off the property, it could not legally be bottled as "estate." And what does that mean to you, the customer? Very little, except that you can now g... Read More »
