Furthermore, the aromatics are practically nonexistent. As expected, the body is light and the tannins are no issue, but for the money, one would expect more than this. Tom Wine Cambria has been turning out a number of fine Chardonnays and Pinots vintage after vintage. Here is another one. The bouquet is moderate and has elements of cherry and berry fruit with touches of toasty vanilla and smoke.
Flavors emerge in a light body, with unobtrusive tannin and a soft mouth feel.
Ripe strawberry and light cherry notes are embellished by the latent smoke and vanilla first encountered on the nose. All in all, a pleasant interpretation of the Pinot Noir grape. A backdrop of petroleum or tar masks the fruit on the palate. Very unpleasant and not much more to say. Maybe the sample is not a good representation of this wine.
