2000 Etude Pinot Gris
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / CARNEROS
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 88
(from Hudson Vineyard fruit) Smoky, buttery nose hints at orange peel and grilled nuts. Rich and spicy, with a leesy nuance and a late note of orange peel. A satisfying mouthful of wine, but with its lowish acidity and full alcohol it comes across as a bit topheavy.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: May/June 2002
Etude was established in 1982 by wine consultant Tony Soter to produce high quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir sourced from top growers. The brand embarked on an estate-focused philosophy in 1999 with the purchase of a former pasture at the base of Sonoma Mountain. The sustainably-produced wines include Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and five estate-grown Pinot Noirs. Additionally, their appellation-focused Cabernet Sauvignon program offers selections from St. Helena, Oakville and Rutherford, as well as a Napa Valley bottling. Winemaker is Jon Priest.
