Pinot Noir is quite possibly the oldest grape variety to be cultivated for the purpose of making wine. Pinot Noir produces an astonishing range of nuances, which are highly appreciated by wine lovers from around the world. French Pinot Noir tends to be of light to medium body with an aroma reminiscent of black cherry, raspberry or currant. California and New Zealand highlights a more powerful, fruit forward and darker wine that can approach Syrah in depth.
igourmet.com hand-picked the following Three Cheeses to complement Pinot Noir.
Etorki: From the Pyrennes region of France, this pasteurized Basque cheese has a delicate bouquet, fruity aroma and slightly sweet flavor. The milk comes from small flocks of black or red-faced Manech sheep and is only made from late December to mid July (when the ewes are impregnated again). (7.5 oz.)
Chocolate Capri Log by Westfield Farm: Westfield Farm has been handcrafting award-winning farmstead cheeses in Hubbardston, Massachusetts since 1971. If the notion of a semi-sweet chocolate goat cheese appeals to you, you will positively fall in love with this new creation from Westfield Farm. Rich and creamy with a slightly goaty tang, be forewarned, these five ounce logs are addictive. (5 oz.)
Comte: Produced since the reign of Charlemagne, when there were no separate entities named France and Switzerland. Contributing to raw-milk Comté's unique flavor, morning and evening milkings are mingled before the cheese making process. The wheels are aged for a full year, resulting in a sweet and nutty masterpiece. (7.5 oz.).
