Pinot Noir
The most dominant red wine grape in Burgundy, which is also grown the world over - California & New Zealand are well known for their Pinot Noir examples. Traditionally, subtle differences in terroir are said to have a huge impact on the profiles of Pinot Noir wines. Aromas abound of red berries & cherry - fresh red cherry in lighter wines, stewed black cherry in weightier wines. Complex examples also hint at forest floor notes, leather & violets.
