Estate grown. Etude (Fr. study) has been dedicated to sustainably growing and hand crafting Pinot Noir for over 30 years. Our Grace Benoist Ranch Estate is tucked away in the cooler northwest corner of Carneros, which combined with its well-drained rocky soils and carefully selected plantings make it an ideal Pinot Noir site. Sixteen different clones and selections contribute to this varietally expressive and aromatic Pinot Noir.
