A beautiful expression of Carneros Pinot Noir, packed with bright cherry and berry flavors, and enhanced by complex spice and earth notes. Youthful and fresh, with the potential to age for up to a decade.

A vibrant ruby red, garnet color, with aromas of lifted red berries, black cherry and fresh strawberry, alongside earth and spice notes of cedar, pink peppercorn and crushed tea leaf, finishing with brown baking spice notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove, characteristics often found in Grace Benoist Ranch Pinot Noirs. Rich, round and silky with bright acidity and long, fine-grained tannins that suggest the opportunity to age a bit, for further development of the complex layers of flavor.

Etude was founded on the philosophy that winemaking begins in exceptional vineyards, long before the Fall harvest, where superior grape growing leads to wines with authentic varietal expression, wonderful flavors and a telling reflection of where the wines are grown.
