Pinot Noir; the red grape variety of the Burgundy region in France. It requires a long cool growing season. Pinot Noir is frustrating to grow as it is susceptible to viruses, mildew and bunch rot. One benefit is a higher level of antioxidants and resveratrol in the wine. The Finger Lakes Pinot Noirs have the highest concentration of resveratrol of any region in the world according to Cornell University. It is the wine to toast "to your health"!
