Update as of June 18, 2012…and if you are looking for the perfect opportunity to compare and contrast pinot noir clones, check out Willamette Valley’s Pinot noir Clonal Wine Tasting Kit! This would make a fun experiment.

Loved the video, thanks. A Pinot Noir clone party sounds like fun!
Slick video. I know very little about pinot so thanks for the introduction.
Thanks Sandra and Greg, glad you enjoyed it! ~Pamela
Wonderful video. Kudos! Where the clones are grown is really the acid test, if you’ll forgive the expression!
Thanks David!
