This wine is a masterpiece of taste, boasting a grandeur that awakens the senses with layers of lush dark berry fruit aromas. Picture a symphony of flavors – black cherry, black currant, cassis, and raspberry pie – joined by the harmonious notes of cardamom, clove, and nutmeg, invoking a delightful dance of baking spices.
The 2017 vintage in Napa Valley was marked by its smaller yields, a gift that came hand in hand with exceptional quality. Winter rain brought relief from drought, and though the harvest was at times unpredictable due to a short burst of warmer temperatures, the result was nothing short of exceptional. The wines from this vintage, including our 2017 Etude Napa Valley Cabernet, bear witness to this unique interplay of conditions – exceptional flavor intensity, highly saturated color, and layers of complexity.
Experience the magnificence upon release or let it mature gracefully for years to come. This wine is a testament to time, craftsmanship, and the undeniable beauty of Napa Valley's terroir. Indulge in the allure of the 2017 vintage – a wine that encapsulates both elegance and depth in every sip.
