Etude Grace Benoist Ranch Carneros Pinot Noir 2021 Rated 96JS

Product Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 96
This is really savory with bay leaves, lightly grilled meat and violets. So complex. Full-bodied with fine yet chewy tannins that are layered and beautiful. Some basalt and white pepper undertones. Lovely soft and powdery tannins. Medium body at the end. Thoughtful wine. Drinkable but even better in two or three years.

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.
