WTN: 2007 Etude Pinot Noir Estate Grown, Carneros, CA

14.4% abv. Cork crumbled as I tried to extract it. I poured the wine through a tea sieve twice to filter out cork crumbs. Dark purple color with some browning. This wine may be on a downhill slope. The flavor is somewhat grapey with plum and spice notes and slightly brooding in its aspect. Still drinkable but not one to hold any longer.
