2005 Etude Heirloom Carneros Pinot Noir
14.6% alc., 1091 cases, $90.
·
Subdued nose of deep, dark
plummy fruits and clove. The aromas just don’t seem like they have arrived yet. Juicy dark red stone fruits
dominate the entry and mid palate, finishing with toothsome tannins. A little ponderous and unexciting now but
the wine should become more expressive with time in the cellar.
