Pinot Noir

15884 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 Pinot Noir
Fiddlestix Vineyard

Our 2005 Pinot Noir from Fiddlestix Vineyard represents a careful selection of five barrels that showcase the distinctive quality and personality of this acclaimed site in Santa Ba ...morerbara County's Santa Rita Hills. Round, luscious flavors of strawberry, black cherry and blackberry reveal toasty nuances of clove spice and mocha. The texture is firm yet silky, finishing with fine youthful tannins that will soften with aeration and aging.

2005 Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley

Our passion for the Pinot Noir grape extends northward to Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where we seek an inspiring contrast to our Pinot Noir bottlings from California’s Santa Ri ...moreta Hills. The 2005 vintage hails equally from Temperance Hill Vineyard in the Eola Hills and Parish Hill Vineyard in the Red Hills of Dundee. The result is a pure and complex expression of Oregon Pinot Noir.

2005 Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley

This Pinot Noir displays nice regional and varietal characteristics. It is fruit forward with a nice hint of earthy Pinot quality. The grapes were harvested from the award winning ...moreRodella Vineyard. Left on the lees for 9 months and stirred frequently. We hope you enjoy this wine during the holidays, but it is young and could use a few years to mature. So try one bottle and save the rest if you can.

2005 Pinot Noir Argentina
Mendoza, Argentina

“As we all know, the popularity of Pinot Noir is hotter than the surface of the sun. The hard part about enjoying Pinot Noir is finding one that tastes great at a reasonable pric ...moree - well look no further! We scoured the southern hemisphere and located a fantastic Pinot Noir in Mendoza, Argentina. As we finalized the blend in Argentina, we knew we had something special.

This Pinot Noir is made in a fruit forward “California” style. The nose is filled with cherries, strawberries and a plethora of other mixed red fruits. The myriad of fruit aromas carry over to the palate and are charged up with a healthy dose of cedar, mint and a touch of sage. The palate is well-structured with balanced tannins and stout acids, giving the Pinot Noir a long and lingering finish. A very knowledgeable wine producer once explained that Pinot Noir should be an iron fist in a silk glove. Need we say more!” Winemaker Lee Nesbitt

This rich, dark Pinot Noir was aged in 20% ...morenew French oak barrels for 17 months. Elements of spicy black cherry, sweet brown spices, cola and soft tannins round out with a spicy finish. A well-rounded structure will allow for 2-3 of bottle aging.

2005 Almond Flat Pinot Noir
Carmel Valley

Our 2005 Almond Flat Pinot Noir is grown 1000 feet above our Cabernet Vineyards at 1800 feet in elevation. The weather in our hills is influenced by its close proximity to the coas ...moret (10 miles) and is therefore more moderate than the weather in the valley below. Our Pinot Noir is very Burgundian with big, bold flavors or dark plum and Moroccan spice. This wine drinks wonderfully now and will age well for the next 7 to 10 years.
