Etude Carneros Pinot Noir (375ML half-bottle) 2007
Pinot Noir from Carneros, California
ratings pedigree (past vintages):
winemaker's notes:
Deep garnet in color, the 2007 Pinot Noir bottling offers inviting aromas of black cherry and frambois strawberry with hints of cardamom and clove. The palate bursts with rich fruit, cherry liquor notes, toasted oak and a distinct minerality. The concentrated fruit combined with the fine-grained tannins and lifted acidity creates a defined Pinot Noir with elegance and length.
critical acclaim:
"Medium-deep ruby color; deep, complex dark cherry and herbal aromas; rich. ripe, complex black cherry flavors with earthy, forest floor notes and some toasty oak; good structure and balance; long finish. Deep, complex Pinot with the right amount of everything to drink really nicely right now. Needs some time to develop more fully."

PinotReport
"A beautiful Pinot Noir, deeply flavored and complex. It shows a silky, elegant mouthfeel, with powerful flavors of cherry and raspberry purée, mocha, Dr. Pepper and smoky sandalwood. Feels solid and impressive in texture, an important wine, and will drink well though 2014."

Wine Enthusiast
"Light ruby red hue. Pretty bouquet of smoked meats, spearmint and forest floor. Round, juicy mouth-feel showcases cherry, coffee and black pepper. Spicy notes ring out in the close along with well-integrated tannins and pepper-tinged acids. "

The Wine News
"Etude's outstanding trio of Pinot Noirs begins with the dark ruby/plum-hued 2007 Pinot Noir Estate, which offers plenty of sweet cherry, pomegranate, wood spice, and forest floor characteristics in its round, gracious, expansive personality. Enjoy it over the next 5-6 years."
