It is well-known for its focus on Pinot Noir from different growing regions. The name Etude refers to a musical piece with a technical focus allowing the musician to practice and perfect a particular technique – although here it is applied to winemaking. This is applied to winemaking at Etude, principally the extensive range of Pinot Noir. The home of Etude estate vineyards – Grace Benoist Ranch is planted to 158 acres (64 hectares) of Pinot Noir, including 6 acres (2.4 ha) of heirloom selections. While Napa Valley is famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon, the Carneros AVA (American Viticultural Area) has significantly cooler temperatures due to its proximity to the San Pablo Bay, making it possible to grow cooler climate varieties. What makes Grace Benoist particularly unique, however, is that the soil is volcanic as opposed to clay-based, like the rest of Carneros. The Pinot Noir wine range is famous for their bright, plush, and balanced style. The AVA Series of the portfolio is a collection of varying expressions of Pinot-producing regions including the Sonoma Coast, Santa Maria Valley and Oregon amoungst others. Etude also produces a fair amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, but not in Carneros. Instead, it is sourced from warmer AVAs within Napa Valley like Rutherford and St Helena. A small portion of Grace Benoist is planted to white grapes, including Chardonnay, but the most well-known white is the Pinot Blanc, a vivacious wine brimming with citrus and honeysuckle. The estate was established in the early 1980s by Pinot Noir vintner Tony Soter. It is now owned by Treasury Wine Estates.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-17T12:35:34-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-14T09:20:39-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","NK1301","Other_Wine","Producer_Etude","Region_Napa Valley","Source_CanaWine0123","Type_Red Wine","varietal_cabernet sauvignon"],"price":39899,"price_min":39899,"price_max":39899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42679639310474,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"1998 | Etude | Cabernet Sauvignon","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":39899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1_c0439220-e5fb-46bf-bc87-7b3a696e054c.jpg?v=1673707430"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1_c0439220-e5fb-46bf-bc87-7b3a696e054c.jpg?v=1673707430","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1998 | Etude | Cabernet Sauvignon at CaskCartel.com","id":23971965370506,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1_c0439220-e5fb-46bf-bc87-7b3a696e054c.jpg?v=1673707430"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1_c0439220-e5fb-46bf-bc87-7b3a696e054c.jpg?v=1673707430","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 1998 | Etude | Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn opaque ruby\/purple color is followed by a soft, precocious, evolved, up-front style with gorgeous black fruits, medium to full body, soft tannin, and good fatness allied to elegance and suppleness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Etude\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWA\u003c\/span\u003e | 92  \u003cspan color=\"#ff2a00\" style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eWC\u003c\/span\u003e | 90\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1998\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e cabernet sauvignon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e United States, Napa Valley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn opaque ruby\/purple color is followed by a soft, precocious, evolved, up-front style with gorgeous black fruits, medium to full body, soft tannin, and good fatness allied to elegance and suppleness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003eReviews:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Advocate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is an impressive effort.
