Pinot Noir

The heartbreak grape — difficult to grow but transcendent when it works. Pinot Noir produces some of the world's most complex, age-worthy, and food-friendly red wines. Its thin skins and finicky nature mean it only thrives in specific cool-climate terroirs, but the results are worth the effort.
