David Bruce Winery has earned an international reputation throughout more than four decades for its dedication to producing the greatest Pinot Noir in the world. The winery was bonded in 1964, and in 2024 celebrated their 60th Anniversary. Their wines are produced from varietals grown on their 45-acre Estate Vineyard located in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The winery has been in the forefront to develop methods that have changed the face of winemaking in California and will continue to do so.

 

TASTING NOTES:  These grapes come from several vineyards in Paso Robles and southern Monterey. The resulting components display notable differences, some exuding bright, spice-tinged fruit while others are jammy, earthy and dense. The blend in many ways exceeds the sum of these parts, offering blackberry, blueberry and white pepper aromas, with a supple and balanced feel coming from our gentle handling of the fruit. Limiting the influence of new oak allows the fruit to shine through, making this wine versatile with foods, and ready to drink now.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Roasted Pork, BBQ beef, burgers, Chicken in mole sauce, aged cheeses, sautéed mushroom, eggplant, black bean, caramelized onion, stuffed peppers, and currants.
