This is a good table wine.

This is worth the buy. It's a great Zin with medium tannins.

The wine so far is good, but the cork broke apart while I was trying to open. It crumbled, but luckily didn't drop into the bottle. I received this as a gift.

This was passed on to me by a friend. This one grew on me and just when I finished the bottle, I really enjoyed it. I love how your tastes evolve without you even realizing it.

This was bright and berry. It paired well with salmon and buttered popcorn.

It's a sweeter cab than what I'm used to now, but it is very good. My friend tried it because she wanted to find a Nickel and Nickel equivalent without the price tag. It was suggested to get by Total Wine in Natick.

This wine is happening again. I went back for it at the WGBY wine tasting. When I had to pick my last glass, this is what I thought of getting. I will definitely buy this again.

I had this at the WGBY 2017 wine tasting. I had never heard of this winery, but this white wine was a nice surprise. The flavor reminded me of vinho verde.

This leaves a peat finish for me. Not an overwhelming peat, but one I am not used to with a wine. There is also a hint of cacao

A classic buttery chardonnay. I haven't found many chardonnay's like this in a while because I think people don't like the taste.

I enjoyed this zinfandel with a boneless pork chop seasoned with sweet curry. It was a nice balance because this wine didn't have the sweet characteristics associated with zins. I then transitioned to popcorn, which paired just as well. i can't wait see how this wine will taste after it has been opened for a day.
Day 2:
There was a bright cherry finish that forced me to stop and appreciate it.

I like this wine better this time. The tartness was a nice balance to the fruit flavor that lingers on your palate.

12/16/2016 - STPerry Does not like this wine:

The aroma is nice. When I take the initial taste, you catch the syrah flavor, but the finish is off-putting. I wonder if it's the vermouth. I have shared it with a couple of people and they say the same thing.

This is a lot better than I remembered. This is really smooth and not too sweet. I think a non Zin drinker would enjoy it. It has a buttery finish for me.

When I first opened this bottle, it had a peaty taste to it. On the second day it's more smokey.

Just as good as I remembered and it gets better the longer it's in the glass. This wine was worth the wait.

11/18/2016 - STPerry wrote:

This got better after it had been opened for a couple of days, but I must admit I should have enjoyed this with something fatty, like pork loin. The acidity is medium, but as it opens up, you can get more of the berry flavors. For my current preference, it should be aerated for at least 30 minutes or it may be better in a couple of months.

11/12/2016 - STPerry Does not like this wine:

i wish I had some more of this. It is a very smooth port that lingers with right amount of berry on your tongue, but it is very strong.

The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are fast. It smells like cranberry. It tastes like red currant and raspberry. The body is light/medium. The wine has coarse texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

This wine was a gift and I have never had it before. My friend works at a company that represents this vineyard. I wish I had known about Etude before because it is spectacular. This is a wine that bursts with flavor and lingers with a velvety feel on the tongue.

This wine is spectacular. I picked the perfect wine to celebrate my 40th birthday. This is a cab that starts off silky and smooth on your tongue with a touch of tannins at the end.

I opened this yesterday and had it before I went to bed. The acidity was prominent. I had it tonight with Castelvetrano olives and it was a perfect combo. The acidity was practically non-existent and was perfect.

I don't know if I would purchase this again. It doesn't have a lot that pop of flavor for me anymore.

This will be best enjoyed with something fatty because of its acidity. It's also dry, but not dry that makes you want to pour the bottle down the drain. I am currently drinking this without eating any food. I will reassess once I try with food.

The finish is smoother when it's on your tongue, but overall this wine is spectacular. I forgot how good it was and I wish I had 10 more bottles.
I get cherry in the nose and in the finish.

This cab was sweeter than what I was expecting. It also didn't have a well-balanced taste for me. Someone brought this over for dinner.

I think I bought this after my visit and didn't taste it at the vineyard. This Zinfandel didn't excite me. I had it with food and with cheese and crackers and it had the same impression.

The light berry flavor is forward, but is a tinge too acidic when it is right out of the fridge. This wine is definitely one that gets better being in a glass for 20 minutes.
