2016 Etude Grace Benoist Ranch Carneros Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., $36. Produced and bottled by Etude Wines, Napa, CA. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Pleasing aromas of ripe dark cherry, cola and spice pick up interest over time in the glass. Silky and suave on the palate in a mid weight style with engaging flavors of black cherry, plum and spice and demure toasty oak in the background. Still fine when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 90. Reviewed September 14, 2018
