Hidden amid the redwoods high in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of San Francisco is the David Bruce Winery. Beautiful nose with aromas of complex ripe fruits and gentle floral spice. On the palate cherry and blackberry with citrus notes, cinnamon spice and honey. Smooth firm tannins, savory on a lingering finish ending with mineral tones. A Fav!

Underwhelming at best. Very thin. I’m not a big Pinot fan of anyway (Full disclosure) but just was not worth the 40 bucks

Nestled amid the redwoods high in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of San Fran is the David Bruce Winery. Ruby with berry fruit aromas and citrus notes. On the palate blackberry and sweet cherry with orange rind notes and cinnamon. Soft tannins on a lingering finish ending with pepper spice. Needs some time.

Jammy licorice that brightens up with every minute the cork is off. Seriously one of the best Pinots I've ever had. What a night.

Cherry juice. Pretty one dimensional, but a chugger.
