Tasting Notes

Radiant in its rich ruby garnet hue, this wine opens with a vivid and alluring nose - red currant, wild strawberry, and cranberry weave together with hints of red berry compote, black rooibos tea and a graceful touch of rose petal. On the palate, the red fruit profile deepens with layers of ripe plum, subtle earth, and warm baking spices. Vibrant acidity brings lift and freshness, while finely balanced tannins provide structure without overpowering. Still in its early stages, this wine exudes youthful energy and elegance, with the promise of further depth and complexity as it continues to evolve.

“The 2023 Pinot Noir Heirloom Grace Benoist Ranch is another expressive, large-scale wine in this range from Etude. Dark red/purplish fruit, pomegranate, spice, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco are some of the notes that open in the glass. Even with all of its obvious fruit intensity, the 2023 is bright and vibrant, especially with a bit of air.”– Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com

      Vintage Notes
      In 2023, Grace Benoist Ranch, situated in the cool, maritime-swept Carneros region of Sonoma, benefited from a classic growing season defined by moderation and persistence. A wet and cool winter segued into a foggy "June gloom," delaying bud break and pushing veraison late into the season. Throughout summer, temperatures remained mild, with daytime highs generally between the low to mid-70°F range, which allowed fruit to ripen evenly and maintain vibrant natural acidity. Harvest was unusually late; this extended hang time permitted development of excellent flavor and structural depth without loss of finesse. The resulting wines display hallmark traits of Grace Benoist Ranch: clarity of fruit, refined minerality and bright acidity. Age-worthy, they are beautifully balanced - structured yet elegant - with vivid aromatics that reflect the cool-climate precision of this remarkable 2023 vintage.
