2011 Etude Pinot Noir Carneros

The Etude winemaking team--Tony Soter, Jon Priest and Franci Ashton--follow a minimal interventionist approach in crafting their Carneros Pinot Noir, which is produced from fruit harvested from the rocky volcanic soils of Etude's estate vineyards in the northwest corner of Carneros.  The Etude Carneros Pinot Noir is a true reflection of the winery’s estate vineyard, Grace Benoist Ranch. A blend of the best grapes from individual vineyard

Winery Notes

Deep ruby in color, the 2010 Carneros Pinot Noir is driven by inviting aromas of ripe cherry and red berries, and accented with notes of forest floor and Asian spice. The classically structured palate showcases a seamless blend of lush, dark fruit and oak, which is enhanced by refined tannins. Due to the low yield of this vintage, this defined Pinot Noir has an intensely concentrated fruit core that is balanced with a bright, lasting acidity.
