Pinot Noir is a light- to medium-bodied red wine grape variety renowned for its delicate aromas and silky texture. The term refers to the grape itself and the wine produced from it, notably from Burgundy, Oregon, and several other regions. Pronounced distinctly with two syllables in ‘Pinot’ and one in ‘Noir,’ it embodies a refined, nuanced character often paired with mushrooms, poultry, and richer sauces.
