Cambria's proximity to the ocean and east-west orientation gives this
1,405-acre property the diversity it needs to grow Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah
under perfectly suited conditions. As an estate property, Cambria's
Vineyard Manager and Winemaker work in
tandem to perfect the winegrowing process. Together, they select only the finest
grapes from the estate to bear the Cambria name. Every grape is hand-harvested
and crafted into wine with the utmost care and respect for the varietal. In recent years Cambria has concentrated its vineyard and winemaking resources into amplifying different aspects of the Cambria estate. This effort launched an in-depth exploration of the vineyard and varieties on this cool-climate property. The result has elevated the quality of Cambria's core wines, created new site-focused and distinct winemaking styles, and dramatically highlighted the bold flavors of each variety. Today, the flagship wines, making up 90% of the production, include Katherine's Chardonnay, Julia's Pinot Noir and Tepusquet Syrah. Each wine represents the broad definition of flavor, for that variety, on the estate. The new, site-focused, Bench Break Vineyard wines, totaling about 3% of the production, reveal a distinct minerality from the most extreme terroir on the estate. Another rare wine making up 3% of the production is Rae's. Rae's is Cambria's bold style of winemaking that amplifies the inherent characteristics of each variety grown on the estate. Experimental, the remaining 4% of the wines crafted at the estate, is the designation where new levels of quality are challenged. Experimental Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs and other exciting varieties are elevated to their maximum quality in both the vineyard and in the cellar.
