The Spirits of Pawling List of Pinot Noir Wines

The history of Pinot Noir as told by the Spirits of Pawling. Due to its translucent color, moderate tannins, and acidity, Pinot Noir wines are among the most sought-after in the world. The wines have subtle flavors and aromas of rose, plum, fresh raspberry, and spice. Due to its high levels of resveratrol, Pinot Noir is considered the healthiest wine. It has low alcohol content, is made from grapes with thin skins, and is low in sugar.

Despite the fact that Pinot Noir can be difficult to cultivate, complex, and elusive, many winemakers persist because the wines that are produced can offer rewards that are equal to the challenge. The Romans first described this noble red variety in the year 100 A.D., and it was first grown in the Burgundy region of France as early as the fourth century. The variety thrives best in cooler growing environments. In regions that receive morning fog and cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean, Pinot Noir shines. Oregon, Sonoma, the southern Napa Valley, and the Central Coast, including Santa Barbara, are all cooled by the ocean.
