Pinot Noir

22068 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 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

2006 'Vin Gris' Pinot Noir

The Vin Gris is back. For the second year, Husch has added a pink wine to its usual mix of red and white varietals. We call our wine a Vin Gris – “grey wine” – which typica ...morelly denotes a pink wine that is, unlike its sweet cousin “blush”, dry (containing no residual sugar). While a Vin Gris can be made from almost any type of red grape, it was natural for Husch to choose Pinot Noir which is one of the winery’s specialties.

The grapes were crushed at the winery and allowed to soak up only a small portion of the pigment from the dark grape skins. When the juice had turned pick – but not yet fully red – we gently pressed the must and separated the pink grape juice from the dark grape skins. The wine was then fermented like a white wine and bottled without any extensive aging in the winery.

The 2006 Vin Gris offers delicate flavors of strawberry and watermelon with a touch of spice. Perfect for a summer afternoon, this rosé has a round mouthfeel, yet finishes dry and crisp. Enjoy with fresh fruit or a light summer brunch.

2006 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley

We have been sourcing grapes from the Willamette Valley for a dozen years now but honestly don't recall a vintage like 2006. Yields were high - potentially too high for the grapes ...moreto fully ripen - but ripen they did. In fact, there’s a group of folks that think the 2006 Oregon Pinots are too ripe, too immediately accessible. We don’t agree with that assessment. Perhaps 2003 seemed too ripe to us, but in 2006 the high yields slowed the grapes’ sugar accumulation keeping it in-line with flavor development. This was the best of both worlds with the only potential downside being a dilution of flavors due to the higher yields. To combat this we bled off a significant portion of juice, costing us a great deal of money but making a significantly better wine. The 2006 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is one of the results of this superb growing season and strict winemaking regime. The 2006 Siduri Willamette Valley Pinot Noir has already received numerous accolades including a 3 1/2 star rating from The Press Democrat and a superb review from Wine Spectator Magazine where it was described this way, “Crisp in texture, with an open feel to the plum and floral aromas and flavors, lingering on the

2006 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley

To create the 2006 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, grapes were hand-harvested from our vineyards. Crafted using traditional Burgundian techniques, including fermentation in small ...moretanks, hand punch-downs and aging in 60-gallon French oak barrels, this Pinot Noir is an elegant example of this varietal.

The cool, foggy Russian River Valley climate allows for slow ripening, enabling the grapes to develop full flavor maturation over an extended time.

This wine offers classic Russian River Valley aromas of cola with dark fruit and notes of barrel spice. Flavors of black cherry, violet and a note of cinnamon unfold on the palate. This Pinot is silky smooth with a supple finish that glides across the palate.
