I had a chance to do a mini-vertical of the Etude Cabernet Sauvignons, and all of them performed extremely well. Most of them appeared to need additional cellaring, and each of them suggested to me that they have another two decades of life. I rated the 1992, 91 (fascinating).. As insiders know, these wines are the handcrafted products of one of California's most influential and successful winemakers/consultants, Tony Soter. Soter has a superb list of clients, including Araujo Estate, Dalla Valle, and Viader. His own wines are also brilliant, and in 1997, his portfolio will include a Pinot Noir produced from his first vineyard - in Oregon's Willamette Valley.

Remarkably supple, complex and integrated, with a seamless core of ripe, spicy black cherry, currant, mocha, menthol and blackberry. Unfolds to reveal extra flavor nuances and finishes with a long, rich aftertaste and enough tannin to merit further cellaring.--'92 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2012. 1,500 cases made. -JL
