Joel Fleischman of Vanity Fair describes pinot noir as "the most romantic of wines, with so voluptuous a perfume, so sweet an edge, and so powerful a punch that, like falling in love, they make the blood run hot and the soul wax embarrassingly poetic." Master Sommelier Madeline Triffon calls pinot "sex in a glass."
The 'Sideways' Factor
Pinot noir was heavily featured in the 2004 film Sideways..
In the film, the main character Miles describes pinot to his love interest:
"It's a hard grape to grow ... it's thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early ... it's not a survivor like Cabernet, which can just grow anywhere and thrive even when it's neglected. No, pinot needs constant care and attention ... it can only grow in these really specific, little, tucked-away corners of the world. And only the most patient and nurturing of growers can do it, really. Only somebody who really takes the time to understand pinot's potential can then coax it into its fullest expression."
And Robert Parker has described pinot noir in Parker's Wine Buying Guide: "When it's great, pinot noir produces the most complex, hedonistic, and remarkably thrilling red wine in the world..."
