Pinot Noir Tasting Sampler

I find the broad spectrum of flavors and textures one can encounter in Pinot Noir from around the world to be both intriguing and delicious. It’s no secret that Pinot Noir is considered particularly adept at transmitting the unique aspects of a vineyard site’s soil and climate (aka terroir) into characteristics that can be tasted in the glass. the best examples reveal layers of subtle nuance which continue to unfold each time the drinker comes back to the glass.

Today, I’ve compiled a sampler of three different wines that showcase just how diverse and enchanting Pinot Noir can be. Each represents a truly individual manifestation of this variety, but all display the perfume and elegance which are hallmarks of the variety.
