Hello @horton!

Pinot Noire is a grape red wine variety of the specie Vitis vinefar. The name can also refer to wines created mainly from Pinot noirgrapes.
The name comes from the French words for "pine" and "black" which describe the grape's variety as tightly clustered dark purple pine cone-shaped bunches of fruit.

Pinot noir grapes are grown around the world and they thrive mostly in cool regions. However, the grape is mainly associated with the Burgundy region of Franceand considered to produce some of the finest wines in the world. The only drawback is that this variety of grape is difficult to cultivate and transform into wine.

The flavor or red wine that comes from Pinot Noir is reminiscent of sweet red berries, plums, tomatoes, cherries and at time noted for its earthy or wood-like flavor. Red wine is best suited with food like poultry, beef, fish, ham, lamb and pork. It can also mixed well with creamy sauces, spicy seasonings and one of the world's most versatile food wines.
