Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir Wines

Top countries producing this wine:

Pinot Noir is estimated to be more than 2,000 years old, originating in the Burgundy region of France, perhaps before the Roman invasion. The holy grail of wine grapes, Pinot Noir has a finicky nature and chameleon-like tendencies in the vineyard, making it one of the least consistent grapes to grow. Winemakers around the world, drawn to the stunning potential of this elusive wine, have attempted to emulate the great red wines of Burgundy in their own regions.

Regions with cool climates and a long, slow growing season have begun to captivate wine drinkers with a wide array of Pinot Noir styles. In California, appellations such as Russian River Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Lucia Highlands, Anderson Valley and the Pacific-cooled Sonoma Coast areas are producing tangy, fuller-style Pinots with ripe red berry fruits. Oregon is perhaps the most promising region in the U.S. for making a balanced, elegant Pinot that is slightly fuller than the Burgundian model but has more finesse than the high-octane style of California. New Zealand Pinot Noirs are trickling into the U.S. market with zesty, lighter styles that possess mouthwatering acidity.  Australia, too, has achieved some impressive, classically light-bodied Pinots in their cooler regions. 

The quintessential food wine, a young Pinot Noir possesses high acidity and loads of fruity characteristics such as cherries, plums and strawberries. A mature wine will develop complexities that include mushroom, violets and figs. Pinot Noir will hold up to most hearty dishes, yet it is delicate enough to pair with fish. Delightful to drink young, Pinot Noir is one of the few wines that possess both approachability in youth and great complexity in maturity.

The history of US winemaking dates back to the 1600s, when colonists planted vineyards in Virginia and, soon after, Pennsylvania. Early attempts met with considerable hardship, however, as settlers didn't care for the taste of some of the native American grapes and European vines shipped in were often destroyed by pests and vine disease. It wasn't until the 1800s that commercially successful wineries started to take hold in the U.S., only to have their growth stunted by more vine epidemics in the late 1800s, and later by Prohibition.

Following the repeal of Prohibition, US winemaking gradually recovered. In the 1970s and 80s, California wineries started to make waves in the international market. Today the United States is one of the world's foremost wine producers, ranking behind only France, Italy and Spain in total wine production.

The vast majority of US wine production comes from the West Coast, and the vast majority of that is from California wineries, which produce almost nine out of every 10 bottles made in the U.S. Washington and Oregon wineries are also significant producers, and New York wineries are beginning to establish a reputation for fine wines, with Finger Lakes wines and Niagara Escarpment wines earning critical acclaim.
