Happy Pinot Noir grapes require an abundance of sunshine, cool breezes, and well-draining soil.Īnd, when winemakers get it right, it’s a masterpiece. And harvesting too early or too late can destroy the wine altogether. The sparsely leafed vines provide little protection for insect or avian pests. Pinot Noir is exceptionally difficult to make, due to the delicate (or downright finicky, some may say) nature of Pinot Noir grapes.Ĭlimates that are too cold or too warm cause the grapes to rot, lose their flavor, and/or discolor. These nuances can also change from bottle to bottle depending on the winemakers’ decisions and if that particular Pinot Noir is on the sweeter or drier side. The wine’s delicious berry flavors are complemented beautifully with subtle notes that can span a wide variety: ripe tomato, mushroom, earthy tastes, leather, gamey meat, vanilla, cinnamon, rosemary, peppermint, smoke, rhubarb, or green tea leaves. It is a wonderful gateway into heavier red wines because it isn’t too bold or too tannic, but it’s also well-loved by seasoned wine lovers around the world for its intrigue and prestige. And so we have Pinot Noir: a light-bodied red wine that is known for its cherry, strawberry, and raspberry flavors, as well as its spiced aromas, high acidity, gentle tannins, and smooth finish. ![]()
