Etude Grace Benoist Ranch Pinot Noir Rosé 2018 Review
This wine is saccharine, with a mixed red fruit medley going on, and spiked with lime oil. As it opens some white pepper emerges among low acidity. The palate is calm, with a slight weight due to the residual sugar, but is quenching enough to be a solid crowd pleaser.
