Etude
Etude Wines is a renowned winery located in the heart of California's Napa Valley, celebrated for its commitment to producing exceptional Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Founded in 1982 by winemaker Jon Priest, Etude emphasizes a meticulous approach to viticulture and winemaking, focusing on small-lot production and sustainable farming practices. The winery sources grapes from carefully selected vineyards across California, with an emphasis on regions that best express the unique characteristics of each varietal, particularly in cooler climates ideal for Pinot Noir.
Etude's Pinot Noir is particularly noteworthy, often showcasing vibrant fruit flavors, floral notes, and elegant acidity that reflect the terroir of the vineyards. The winemaking process includes hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels, which enhances the wine's complexity and structure. With tasting notes that range from ripe cherry and raspberry to earthy undertones and spice, Etude Pinot Noir is crafted to be expressive and nuanced, making it a favorite among wine enthusiasts.
In addition to its Pinot Noir, Etude also produces a highly regarded Cabernet Sauvignon that embodies the boldness and depth typical of Napa Valley wines. This Cabernet often features layers of dark fruit, cocoa, and cedar, with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Etude Wines invite exploration and appreciation, making them ideal for pairing with a variety of dishes or savoring on their own. The winery’s dedication to quality and craftsmanship ensures that each bottle tells a story of the land, the grapes, and the passion that drives the winemaking process.
