From the epicenter of the quake, Étude is one of the OG Carneros wineries, and continues to showcase how well the San Pablo Bay breeze & pinot noir get along.

Fruity up front, dry and spicy in the back. Just like my adopted step-brother in law.

Fruity and herbal with just the right amount of spice. Full bodied. Had to give it a second try but I was won over.
