RATINGS

93James Suckling

...blue-fruit, cream, chocolate and citrus-fruit character to this. It’s medium-to full-bodied. Creamy tannins and a delicious finish.

Dark-berry aromas meet with a touch of warm toast on the nose of this rich single-vineyard expression. It's big on the palate, with loads of flavors and strong acidity, showing boysenberry, red currant and white pepper.

91The Wine Advocate

...notions of black cherries, mulberries and black raspberries plus touches of chocolate box, wild sage and lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers bags of red and black berry goodness with a pleasant chewiness to the texture and seamless freshness, finishing with some earthy suggestions coming through.

PRODUCER

Etude

Etude Wines was founded in 1982 by Tony and Michelle Soter. The winery and its vineyards are in the Carneros appellation of California’s Napa Valley. Tony Soter was the winemaker at Spottswoode, Araujo, Niebaum-Coppola, Dalle Valle and Moraga before giving up his consulting career to concentrate on his own venture. Today Etude produces Pinot Noir from Carneros region grapes, and Cabernet Sauvignon from grapes grown farther north in Napa Valley. Etude also makes Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and a few other white wines.

REGION

United States, California, South Coast, Santa Barbara County, Santa Rita Hills

Santa Rita Hills AVA in northern Santa Barbara County was granted appellation status in 2001. Located between the towns of Lompoc and Buellton, it has a total area of 30,720 acres with 2,700 vineyard acres. The area is considered a cool climate for vineyards, so vineyards are most often planted with the cool-weather grapes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The hills in the western part of this appellation are directly exposed to the Pacific Ocean, meaning that maritime winds and fog make the western edge of the Santa Rita Hills AVA particularly cool. The Sanford & Benedict Vineyard planted in 1971 was the first vineyard in the district and is still considered one of the best.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
