Scores & Accolades

    “A soft and succulent Rutherford cabernet with currant, tile, and dust aromas and flavors. Very typical. Full and creamy with a long, focused finish. Chewy and creamy-textured at the same time. A little reserved now. Try after 2024.” - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, December 6 2021

    “My favorite of the Etude Cabs in this report is the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford, sourced from the Gary Morisoli Vineyard. Featuring scents of dusty earth and red berries, those elements are followed by a full-bodied, wonderfully lush, richly textured palate, then cassis and dark chocolate notes on the finish. This epitomizes plush valley-floor fruit—drinkable now, with as much as two decades of enjoyment ahead.” - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, June 2022

Winemaking

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.
