What is Pinot Noir?
Pinot Noir is beyond question one of the noblest grapes, standing head and shoulders above most, at the top of that pantheon shared by Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Merlot. Pinot Noir is the major grape in the great wines of Burgundy, velvet and slender, full of nuance which at its best is unmatched by even the greatest of other grapes. Unlike the more steady Cabernet Sauvignon, however, Pinot Noir is notoriously fickle, so while Bordeaux has a well-earned reputation for producing consistent wines one may reasonably expect to offer the same level of quality year after year, Burgundies are a wild card in virtually every bottle.

The Pinot Noir grape ripens early, requiring a relatively cool climate to make use of the short growing season. It seems overly sensitive to virtually every aspect of viticulture, from pruning, to soil composition, to the amount of sun it receives on a daily basis. It has been called the scourge of the winemaker and a “minx of a vine.” Even with all this, however, Pinot Noir is one of the most popular grape varieties in the world. This should come as no surprise – for even with its myriad problems, when it all comes together and works, the wines it produces are almost magical in their depth and character.

Pinot Noir is sweeter than its Cabernet Sauvignon cousin, holding much less tannin, and with scent upon scent gently perfuming it. The wine is fairly light in color as a result of the grapes’ thinner skins. Pinot Noir will age well for some time, but a good Pinot Noir wine may also be enjoyed young. In its more youthful stages, Pinot Noir contains juicy, decadent fruit, particularly berries. As it ages, it tastes more of vegetation, though fruit remains throughout.
A number of clones of Pinot Noir have reached a fairly high level of success in their own right. The Pinot Meunier used in Champagne is a hardier clone of the Pinot Noir grape, and both Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc are other popular clones. Pinot Noir, aside from being used in Burgundies and in many single-varietal Pinot Noir wines, is also the predominant grape in most sparkling wines. In Champagne, it is blended with Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, and in other regions, it may be blended with Chardonnay and another rougher grape.
In the United States, Pinot Noir is very popular as a single-varietal wine. While California has produced many exceptional Pinot Noir wines, particularly in the fog-cooled coastal range of northern California, it is in Oregon that the grape has come into its own. A number of Oregon Pinot Noirs are held up as likely contenders to divest Burgundy of its crown.
