Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir’s body generally ranges from light to medium and is favored for its fresh floral, fruity, earthy and spice aromas. Known for an intense rich red color, Pinot Noir is pleasantly dry, with a flavor profile consisting of cherries, raspberries, mushrooms, clove and hibiscus, among others. Its structure generally is higher in acidity and lower in tannins. This variety favors cooler growing regions where cool nights and warm days allow for complex flavors to evolve. In France, you tend to find the more rustic acidity with this varietal, while regions like California produce higher alcohol and more fleshy and concentrated versions. While many of today’s most prized Pinot Noirs are from Burgundy, other noteworthy growing areas include the Russian River Valley in California and the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
