2022 Etude Pinot Noir Forté Fiddlestix Vineyard

The 2022 Pinot Noir Fiddlestix Vineyard Forte is Etude's top selection from Fiddlestix. It sees a few more months in oak than the straight bottling, which exalts a core of dark red/purplish fruit. It's an attractive wine, but it's also a bit light in the mid-palate, again the result of challenging conditions.
