Mission Codename Broken bench
Today’s Cambria Estate 2013 “Bench Break” Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir is a mouthful - in every sense. This is a superb cool climate single vineyard Pinot Noir with a 15 year history of acclaim.
An amazing vineyard site on the Santa Maria Bench next door to Bien Naicido at the base of the foothills. One of the coolest sites in California with considerable marine influence. The Pinot Noirs from this site are some of the finest and most nuanced in California.
This delicious cool-climate Pinot Noir delivers an elegant, food-friendly drinking experience that will have you inhaling deeply, long before you take that first sip of this bright, delicious wine.
If you are a fan of the great Pinot, this highly recommended wine belongs in your cellar.
