About Etude
What began thirty years ago as a philosophical state of mind is now a state-of-the-art winemaking facility in the Carneros region where the ancient art of winemaking is pursued with a singular passion. Etude Wines is dedicated to the study of craft of winegrowing. In classical music, an etude is a composition with a technical focus that allows the musician to practice a particular technique. Similarly, Etude wines are the product of deliberate concentration on the instructive variables of the craft. The end game is not edification alone, but rather the wine itself as a source of enjoyment.
