An excellent Pinot Noir is often called the "Holy Grail" of winemaking. Pinot Noir is a fickle and delicate grape and thus expresses it's sense of place more than any other red variety. We will take your palate on a journey across the globe to Chile, France California, Oregon and New Zealand to map out the differences and the core similarities in this rising star of Hollywood and viticulture everywhere.
Pinot noir (French pronunciation: [pinoˈnwaʁ]) 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, mostly in the cooler regions, but the grape is chiefly associated with the Burgundy region of France. 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.[1]
