What does Pinot Noir taste like?
While many famous red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon are known to be bold and tannic, Pinot Noir is on the opposite end of the spectrum. It is typically light-bodied, dry, low in tannins, and high in acidity. Combine that with its trademark flavors of red fruits like cherry and raspberry, baking spices, delicate florals, and earthiness, and you have a red wine that is very easy to pair with food. In fact, Pinot Noir is one of the few red wines that can even be paired with some kinds of seafood!

Depending on the region it was produced, Pinot Noir can sometimes be earthier or more fruit-forward—with the latter characteristic appearing more in New World iterations. While it is best known for being light-bodied, Pinot Noir can also lean more into the medium side when its alcohol levels are higher. Anything above 13% alcohol is typically heavier.

What regions are known for Pinot Noir?
The Pinot Noir grape is notoriously sensitive, making it difficult to cultivate in a wide variety of terrors, climates, and terrains versus more widely-grown grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon. It thrives in cool and moderate climate regions, such as that of its birthplace: Burgundy, France. Pinot Noir is the primary grape used in all red Burgundy wine—meaning that any wine from the region that doesn’t mention the varietal is almost automatically a Pinot Noir. Burgundy’s style of Pinot Noir is particularly distinct due to its more pronounced earthy and floral notes.

In the New World, Oregon Pinot Noir is often said to be similar to the Burgundy style. But for a Pinot Noir that’s very different, many turn to the ones grown in California and other New World regions such as Marlborough, New Zealand and Central Valley, Chile. All of these are generally produce fruit-forward and lush Pinot Noirs

Pinot Noir is one of the most popular light-bodied red wines in the world, that is both delicate and complex. Exhibiting a flavor profile of red fruits, flowers, spice aromas and ending with a long and smooth finish, Pinot Noir is growing in popularity in the Philippines. Its flavors combined with high acidity and lower tannins make this red wine perfect to pair with a variety of dishes.

French Pinot Noir wines are known to be more earthy and floral, exhibiting forest floor flavors. This earthy element is what makes this French variety fantastic with mushrooms. We recommend a grilled salmon with teriyaki shiitake. California Pinot Noir wines on the other hand are more fruity and rich. Think of sweet BBQ dishes like BBQ chicken or even char siu pork. Fuller-bodied Pinot Noir wines can also pair well with Indian curry dishes.

Quick tip: check the alcohol content to determine whether it will be a lighter or fuller bodied wine. Anything below 13% is typically lighter-bodied, whereas anything above 13% is typically heavier-bodied. Simply match the body of the wine to the food you’re pairing it with and you should have a perfect pairing every time, taking into account flavors of course.
