Etude 2012 Estate Grace Benoist Ranch Pinot Noir (Carneros)

Country: US / Estate Grace Benoist Ranch
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Etude / Carneros

Given the diverse clonal make-up of the vines that go in to this Pinot, the aromas are somewhat muted and shy. Earthy, spicy fruit flavors are characterized by baked red raspberry and strawberry notes, with the wine taking on a denseness on the palate and finish.
