Ten Perfect Pinot Noirs To Try Now
By Katie Kelly Bell, FORBES
Pinot Noir is a wine varietal that plays well with others, whether its paired with food or enjoyed on its own. The silky-soft tannins and high-toned fruit profile of pinot are appealing to most wine drinkers. It is one of the world’s oldest grape varieties (besting Cabernet Sauvignon by almost 1,000 years) and it’s a legendary diva in the vineyard. Growing pinot noir has been known to bring some winemaking professionals to tears. Yet, the bright elegance and delicate power of these wines is worth the effort to cultivate and the cost to buy. Round up some friends, grill some salmon, and open one of these bottles tonight.
