Cambria Wine Club Review

Cambria Wine Club...
Bench Land Treasures

These days, you'll find that just about any winery that wants to be taken seriously is running its own wine club - and Cambria Estate Winery is the same.

Located on a grape vine grower's paradise, namely, the Santa Maria bench in Santa Barbara; Cambria Winery prides itself in keeping the whole production and bottling process of their wines within the estate's confines.

In many ways, joining a wine club is a way for you to expand your wine horizons, exploring new and unknown varietals from wine regions faraway. The question would then be, why join a local winery's wine club, instead of an international one?

Well... in the case of the Cambria Wine Club, the answer is quite simple: you will be getting truly exclusive wines; ones that you can only enjoy as a club member or estate visitor.

A Unique Style...

Cambria Wine Club specializes in 3 very popular varietals: Chardonnay, Syrah, and Pinot Noir. And with a distinct viticultural vision, Cambria Winery offers unique blends of these well-known varietals, as well as the also popular Viognier and Pinot Gris.

To make it even better, the idea of this club is to give you, as a member, access to limited releases, library wines, pre-releases, and rare bottlings; among other benefits.

At Unbeatable Prices

From an Unwooded Chardonnay to a Late Harvest Viognier and a rare Vin Gris Pinot Noir Rosé, this wine club can offer wines to satisfy... even if you are the most demanding of connoisseurs.

You will also find that some of their 90+ points wines are under $20 and their most exclusive bottles, such as the Clone 2A Pinot Noir, go for a mere $48.

Estate Wine Plans

The Cambria Wine Club's membership tiers are called Collector's, Estate, and Classic. There is also a choice between red, white, and mixed within each tier.

The Collector's option presents the most exclusive limited production wines, the Estate club showcases every varietal produced at Cambria, and the Classic section features a selection of the winery's most popular wines.

Cambria offers quarterly shipments, except for the Estate club option, which is a bi-monthly plan. The price per bottle averages $23-30 for the Collector's club, $25-30 for the Estate option, and only $13-18 for the Classic wine plan.

Other Benefits & Shipping

As a member of this wine club you'll get 25% off all Cambria wines; plus you'll receive invitations to special events such as Holiday Open houses and their annual Barbecue.

Shipping costs and taxes are not included in the prices listed above, and they are not specified on the club's website.

Cambria wines can be shipped across the United States, wherever not prohibited by law. Many states also have restrictions as to the number of cases you may receive per month; and they do not ship to P.O. boxes.

Reviews and Ratings...

If you are, in any way, undecided as to whether or not to try this unique wine club, I recommend you check out the descriptions of the wines on the Cambria website. They will surely make your mouth water, in anticipation of their rich Syrahs, the fruity Viognier, and their exquisite rosé.

If you believe the Cambria Wine Club's raving customer reviews (and you should) and the impeccable ratings of their wines at Wine Enthusiast magazine, you will surely start looking to the bench land, in your quest for fabulous (and affordable) wines.
