David Bruce 2003 Sonoma County Pinot Noir

My wife and I were out at Langdon’s in Mount Pleasant, SC the other night celebrating her promotion at work. Langson’s always has some interesting wines on their list with several special selections that change regularly. One of those specials was the 03 David Bruce Sonoma County Pinot. My wife is more of a Pinot fan than I but only by a small degree. We decided to take a flier on the wine. We were both very impressed with the wine. The wine paired with her grouper better my prime NY strip but I was surprised how well it held up to the big flavor of the steak. It’s very ripe fruit forward which pushes my tolerance for sweetness but because of the complex texture it all came together and worked for both of us. Not what I would call inexpensive (especially in a restaurant) but might be something to try for a special occasion or a group of friends over for dinner.
