Pinot Noir

22647 visitors
Pinot noir is a red wine grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera. The name may also refer to wines produced predominantly from pinot noir grapes. The name is derived from the french words for pine and black alluding to the varietals tightly clustered dark purple pine cone shaped bunches of fruit.

Pinot noir grapes are grown around the world, but the grape is chiefly associated with the Burgundy region of France. In De re rustica, Columella described a grape variety in Burgundy in the 1st century A.D. that sounds like Pinot noir. It is widely considered to produce some of the finest wines in the world, but is a difficult variety to cultivate and transform into wine.
More information on Pinot Noir
Food Pairing: Pairs well with chocolate and Gruyere cheese. Try with game fare, ragouts, Peking duck and wild salmon. A classic pairing with Beouf Bourgogne.

2005 Tolosa Pinot Noir
Edna Valley

The color is dark ruby red without being inky or overly dense. A jammy red berry tone announces the aroma and is then backed up by many layers of complex undertones: cinnamon, tea ...moreleaf, bergamot, and fennel, with elements of vanilla and cola as well. The flavors are in harmony with the aroma – this wine is not a flirt. It delivers what it promises with soft fruit opening the palate and ripe, dynamic tannins carrying through to a sweet finish.

2002 Pinot Noir
St. Helena

The 2002 Pinot Noir was harvested at 24.8° brix in late September. The color is deep garnet with a ruby edge. It was aged for 14 months in 100% French oak. The bouquet is one o ...moref black cherry with a hint of figs. The black cherry really carries through on the palate. The wine fills the mouth with a velvety texture, yet retains good acidity for longevity. We believe this is a classic “Carneros†Pinot Noir with the structure to improve tremendously over the next five years.

2006 La Brisa Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast

“La Brisa††is Spanish for the seasonal coastal breeze that rolls over some of Northern California’s most prestigious Pinot Noir vineyards, and the cooling influences of t ...morehis breeze can be seen in the elegant style exhibited by our La Brisa Sonoma Coast blend. We have selected the fruit for this wine from ideal sites around the Sonoma Coast appellation in order to capture the character of the region and to truly express its fruit and earthiness. The 2006 La Brisa opens with a nose of herbs, blackberry, dusty earth, and mixed olives. As it breathes, the herbed aromas resolve into hints of sage and rosemary, and the fruit drifts further to the red end of the spectrum. Bright cherry, blackberry, and red plum fill the palate, along with herbed overtones and sassafras. The finish draws out with chocolate, vanilla, and cherry, along with the herbed, earthy notes of earlier, and as it opens up further over time, an essence of cinnamon even joins the picture. While there are dark fruit flavors, this year’s La Brisa leans more towards red fruit, yielding a fresh, bright flavor profile with good structure and a rich finish.
