Wine: David Bruce: Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Price Range: $25-$50

This wine was created by harvesting fruit from five vineyards in the Russian River Valley,Sonoma Coast and Alexander Valley regions.Traditional open-top tanks,and whole-berry fermentations were used combining “punched cap ” and gravity—fed “rack and return ” techniques to gently extract flavour from the grapes. 

This unique regime was developed to preserve delicate fruit and give a soft,supple feel in the finished wines. Limited barrel aging to twelve months accentuates the ripe cherry aromas and flavours with toasted oak and spice beneath.In the mouth the wine is firm yet velvety,with lingering flavours.While drinking nicely now,it should evolve gracefully for up to five years.
