Etude has earned its repute for making wonderful pinot noirs and we’ve loved them up to now, so it’s a pleasure to pour the newly launched 2021 classic of their Carneros Pinot Noir.
This wine actually reveals the model’s character. On the nostril and palate arrive huge, rounded notes of black cherry, bitter cherry, and pomegranate together with some mild pepper and lightweight floral notes. There’s wonderful construction right here with excessive acidity and mild tannins offering a silky mouthfeel, and the end is lengthy and lingering. It is a lovely instance of pinot noir from the Carneros area, with all components coming collectively right into a harmonious entire. It can go effectively with a variety of meals, from grilled fish to daring pastas to pungent cheeses, however it may also be loved all by itself. I’m a fan.
