James Suckling Review
Rated 96
Bright aromas of fresh raspberries, violets, graphite and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with glossy tannins and balanced acidity, giving flavors of dried strawberries, cassia bark, citrus peel and dried herbs. Very well constructed, with underlying tension. Drink or hold.

Wine Tasting Notes
This ethereal Pinot Noir in a vibrant ruby red hue exudes liveliness. Etude Grace Benoist Ranch Carneros Pinot Noir presents a delightful bouquet of red berry aromas, complemented by flavors of strawberry compote, Bing cherry, pink peppercorn, and delicate hibiscus flower. Subtle hints of earth and spice add depth to the wine. The mouthfeel is rich and savory, with well-integrated tannins that provide a smooth texture. The finish is long and refreshing, with delicate notes of cinnamon and clove, which are often found in Grace Benoist Ranch Pinot Noirs. With its silky and supple texture and a balanced acidity, this wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for further development of its complex layers of flavor.
