Pinot Noir Red Wine
Pinot noir features prominently among the finest, most exclusive wines of the world and as such, remains for many the noblest of all red varieties. Though its origins and most sought-after expressions lay in Burgundy, it is grown everywhere from the west coast of the U.S. to Central and Eastern Europe to South Africa to New Zealand. A cool-climate varietal, it is generally suited to lighter styles and is one notoriously temperamental when growing to full ripeness. When properly cultivated and vinified, however, pinot noir is redolent of a sublime array of aromas and flavours: cherry, raspberry, spice, mushroom, clove and hibiscus which, in the fullness of time, typically evolve into those of tea, leather, tobacco leaf, dried fruit and undergrowth. The brisk levels of acidity typically supporting these wonderful characteristics also make it an ultimate food pairing wine, going superbly as it does with all manner of cured meats, charcuterie, cheese and fowl. Once understood and enjoyed, pinot noir is sure to win a leading role in your drinking repertoire.
