Rich studied winemaking in Burgundy before returning to the US to begin his career at Bonny Doon, Randall Grahm’s trailblazing winery in California. He spent six years and five vintages there before heading up to Oregon and falling into the Pinot Noir trap. Today, his tight range of wines have developed an insider following among Pinot lovers who value balance and precision – attributes that are on full display with his 2018s, from a vintage where elegance is hardly a given. Rich isn’t averse to oak; most of his wines see around 25% new barrels, give or take. Wood influence on his wines, especially in richer years like 2018, is negligible, and in pretty much every vintage, I have found that it is absorbed quickly, usually within about five or six years.

Unlike the majority of Carneros, which is largely uplifted bay bottoms with soils composed of clay, the soils at Grace Benoist Ranch are volcanic in origin. Within the ranch, there are four smaller vineyards (Laniger, Deer Camp, Temblor, and Heirloom) with five main unique soil types, 20 distinct Pinot Noir vine selections, and a variety of clones that all contribute to the distinctive flavor profile of this unique terroir. The well-drained, rocky upland soils of the ranch and the extreme western location close to the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay, make this site an ideal place to grow Burgundian varieties. The vineyard parcels at Grace Benoist Ranch follow the changing contours of the ranch’s topography. Individual vineyards average only eight acres in size and spacing is dense to ensure low per-vine yields of fully concentrated fruit. Grace Benoist Ranch is farmed to Etude’s exacting standards using environmentally sound viticultural practices. The ranch is certified by the California Sustainable Winegrowing as well as Napa Green and Fish Friendly Farming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fruit, including a small number of whole clusters, underwent cold maceration, with a period of time on the skins, in small-lot, open-top fermenters.

Vineyard lots are vinified and aged individually and final blending is subject to a rigorous selection process, where only the best casks are chosen to represent the Grace Benoist Ranch Estate Pinot Noir.
