TN: 2012 Etude Pinot Noir Grace Benoist Ranch (USA, California, Napa / Sonoma, Carneros)

  • 2012 Etude Pinot Noir Grace Benoist Ranch - USA, California, Napa / Sonoma, Carneros (1/6/2015)
    Never had this before….DARK and spicy pinot here! Smooth liqueured berry fruit, pure and ripe, not too dense as you would think. HUGE sandalwood spice….as well as forest, cola, dark chocolate covered strawberry, dried raspberry. Deep dark flavors….the spice is intense, little heat….somewhat disjointed. Very tasty flavors here….needs a little more polish…so maybe a few years will do good. Will buy a couple more($26) to see what happens. (91 pts.)
