2018 Etude Heirloom Pinot Noir Carneros

(94 Points)  “The 2018 Pinot Noir Grace Benoist Heirloom stands out in this range for its savory, spiced profile. Sweet red cherry, spice, mint, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco. There is a bit of whole cluster that works well in adding complexity without dominating the balance. Time in the glass brings out the wine's aromatic lift and very pretty floral top notes. The Heirloom is a selection of nine clones across the properties. It's another gorgeous wine from Etude in 2018.” - Antonio Galloni, March 2021  Vinous
