For more than a decade Jon has fashioned Etude wines with a simple creed. Inspired winegrowing diminishes the need for a winemaker to intervene in the cellar. Whether sourcing from the estate Grace Benoist Ranch in Sonoma's Los Carneros, or vineyards like Fiddlestix and North Canyon in famed growing regions of California's Central Coast, his focus is on coaxing the very best from the vineyard. It shows in every glass of Etude.
"A true reflection of the winery's Grace Benoist Ranch estate vineyard, this wine is a blend of the best blocks on the Ranch, tucked away in the far northwest corner of the Carneros appellation. Unlike most Carneros vineyards, which are largely uplifted bay bottoms with soils composed of clay, the soils on Grace Benoist Ranch are variations of volcanic origin. Combining these well-drained, rocky upland soils with the extreme western location closer to San Pablo Bay, make this cooler site an ideal place to grow Burgundian varieties." - Winemakers Notes
2019 Etude Grace Benoist Ranch Chardonnay
"The 2019 Chardonnay Grace Benoist Ranch is a blend taken from five blocks on the ranch, all on lighter soils that confer elegance and freshness. Citrus peel, mint and white flowers are some of the many aromas and flavors that give this expressive Chardonnay so much appeal."
