2018 Etude Laniger Vineyard Carneros Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., $85. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Very appealing aromas of blackberry reduction and violets. A luxurious mouthful of plum and purple and black berry fruits with a shadow of oak. Satisfying, with balanced tannins and a sweet-fruited finish with some length. Score: 92. Reviewed August 22, 2021
