Pinot Noir, 2006, Cambria, Julia's Vineyard. Over the past several years, I've seen a lot of good reviews on the Cambria, Julia's Vineyard Pinots, but admit I've never tried it. If it's as good as I've read about, $15 is a pretty good deal.

2009 The Wine Enthusiast Top 100: #1
"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." (Wine Enthusiast)
Winery Notes:
Aromatic and velvety Julia's Pinot Noir, named for owner Barbara Banke's younger daughter, is a signature wine of the estate.
