Pinot Noir
is one of the most difficult grapes to grow and make into fine
wine. It is also one of the very best when it is done
properly. It has very specific requirements for its growing
conditions. It needs warm days and cool nights.
If Pinot Noir receives too little heat in the growing season,
its wines are thin and pale. If the growing season is
too warm, the wines have an overripe, cooked flavor.
