    Pomerol:

    The supple, velvety red wines from this part of Bordeaux are among the most magnificent (and expensive) in the world. Most of the wines of Pomerol are made from Merlot gripes, although here has been some blending of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are deep-colored, full-bodied and possessing of soft tannins.

    Pinot Noir:

    (pee noh nwahr)—A tricky grape to grow, Pinot Noir makes some of the best wines in the world. The prototype wine is red Burgundy from France but Oregon, California, New Zealand, and parts of Australia also produce good Pinot Noir. The wine is lighter in color than Cabernet or Merlot with relatively high alcohol, medium-to-high acidity, and medium-to-low tannin. Its flavors and aromas can be very fruity or earthy and woodsy, depending on how it is grown. It is rarely blended with other grapes.
