Etude Pinot Noir Carneros Deer Camp Vineyard Grace Benoist Ranch 2019
$85
Juicy and ripe, this is still a bit reserved now and should unfurl its range of cassis, cherry and raspberry coulis notes in due time, while the backdrop of black tea, mineral and savory bramble details offers ample reserves for the wait. Sleek acidity supports it all effortlessly. A structured Pinot that will reward cellaring. Best from 2023 through 2030. 574 cases made.

Grape
Pinot Noir
This popular red grape originated in Burgundy but has spread across the New World. Like its white Burgundian counterpart Chardonnay, Pinot Noir is early-budding, early-ripening and thin-skinned. The sites where it tends to thrive can experience tough growing conditions, which lead to more rigorous fruit selection and lower yields. This is one of the reasons that high-quality Pinot Noir often carries a higher price tag than other wines.
