"Pinot Noir" The Holy Grail of Wine

- Pinot Noir: The Holy Grail of Wine is a true story of adversity, struggle, and love between the toughest grape - Pinot Noir, and a man whose passion for Pinot Noir would stop at nothing in pursuit of her beauty. Taunted by his addiction to Pinot Noir's mysterious allure, John Saemann, an inexperienced wannabe vintner, is drawn to the magic of Sonoma Mountain, where he pursues his own vision of the Holy Grail of Wine - Clouds Rest.
John is, however, unaware that he is about to encounter years of trials, tribulations, and adversity in the vineyard and in the winery. He takes the challenge of centuries to try the impossible and invests his soul and passion hoping his vineyard can leave a legacy in the world of fine Pinot Noir. - บันเทิง
Love how Mr. John Saemann chokes up every time he talks about his vineyard. I love his passion 😂❤️ I just love it!
Contacted John and I have to say it was a pleasure talking to him. Just like any artist passionate about their craft. Get the pleasure of tasting his wines in a couple of days and can't wait!
Pinot Noir is my favorite out of all the wines!
I like concord grape wine, Merlot second then Pinot Noir... Not really a fan of the white wine... but i have a bias fpr concord grape, probably bc i lived in a dry community and had to make my own with what was available locally and welches concord grape juice was all we had. :) and it worked well....
Really good video
Take a sip everytime they say pinot noir.

Thanks for the Video! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Lammywalness Green Grapes Guide (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one off product for learning how to become a successful grape grower without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate after many years got great success with it.
BoogieB0nes well that’s kind of what the video is about...
Fantastic story, loved every moment of it
I'm drinking PN, puffing a good C-Gar and watching this documentary at the same time...makes it all the better. Cheers & Bottoms up.
I have a bias to concord grape wine, perhaps its because i been making wine inmate style for ages with welches grape juice. Now i make it more properly with concord grapes and while I enjoy a Pinot Noir, Concord is still my fav... im watching this with some Concord grape wine i made inmate style just to watch this video.. 17..... Cheers
To John Saemann... I get it. Your passion is what so many of us, successful or not, desire. Very inspirational. Well played.
I'm far from a connoisseur of wines but thoroughly enjoyed this man's journey, his heartfelt passion and the way the story was told. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Beautiful Staff... Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for posting this video, I appreciate it. God bless you.
Thee most informative video I`ve seen so far.
Thanks for the video! Great stuff.
John - I’m buying your wine! Amazing. Jonny Weiss “Highway to America.” 🎶
Inspired by desire and cradled in love. Well done indeed Clouds Rest.
I had the chance to sit with Mr. Saemann through a full tasting and pairing of all his wines. All beautiful wines, but the best experience was spending the afternoon talking wine, food and life with Mr. Saemann. What a great guy with a wonderful story!
My second time watching this. Inspirational! Now I need to find myself a nice rock garden haha. Congradulations Mr. Saemann!
Excellent story. Pinot Noir my favorite
Thank you.
Perfect...
I attended the STARS of Pinot Noir at the Sofitel. Wow..60 different winemakers presented their art. Wine from the same grape, yet so varied. You should not have missed it, it was exciting and educational.
Thank you for the video. I feel pleasure when I try wine and see your videos
Great story. Makes me want to order a bottle.
I just opened my first bottle of 2012 on 3/28/2016. Celebrating one of the best breaks between school semesters I have ever had. Thank you clouds Rest and God bless. Great finish - Excellent body - Perfect nose
I love how thorough this video is, and see how the master crafter's of Wine have a universality... It is anaet and passion, not a commodity.
I suggest you drink a glass of Pinot Noir while you watch this video
Great story.
Don't forget about Oregon Pinot. The best Pinot I have ever had came from the Willamette Valley AVA in Oregon. Specifically Ankeny, King Estate, and Trinity Vineyards.
I Couldn't agree more, had a bottle of Pinot from Willamette Valley and it was hands down the best Pinot Noir I ever tasted! That area is the best kept secret
matthew calidonna hmm..must experience this today
Yes ... and Domaine Drouhin is direct descendant of Joseph Drouhin from Burgundy, France! Dundee Hills region of Willamette Valley. Both consistently perfect vintage to vintage!
Willamette Valley Vineyards (Turner/Salem, OR) makes the best U. S. Pinot Noir, especially the owner’s reserve available only at the winery. A must.
Brava! Cin Cin!
Love Pinot!
Lol he cried at the end lol. Must be my juicy memories
Great story! John Saemann seems like a really great guy with incredible passion! Wish I can try the wine but can't get it here in Canada. All the best to him and his family.
Bloody good doco
Im from Northern California and now live in Northern Arizona.and I can love many wines and dislike many wines but I hate generalizing but like they said in the movie, and Im paraphrasing You can drink a wine made by machines and it can be good but when someone or a group of people literally put they're blood sweat and tears and LOVE then it transcends into a sublime nectar.
Pinot Noir is probably the most fresh of the red wines
Pinot noir makes me want to live forever
It's sounds good all of them I might start drinking more
Pino noir is awesome
Thanks for a great video! Well done indeed.. I love my Pinot and would dearly love to try some of Clouds Rest vintages. Nothing like a good Pinot... :-)
I love a good wine. I have tried so many pinot noir wines from Oregon to California, but Burgundy wines is heavenly awesome especially highly acclaimed Domaine De La Romaneé-Conti
John Saemann, your words at the end meant a lot to me :) Something that you have put so much passion in must be amazing. I cannot wait to try some.
He stopped for 2 seconds there because of overflowing emotions.
beautiful story of passion inspiration & faith :') i waanna grow grapes NoW! so lucky to live here in Santa Maria Valley (wine country) were pinot is king Crop....everywere i look you got merlot, shiraz, cabernnay & others i cant even pronounce, but noirs are a household name here. Our smurf village is surrounded by Dem smurfberries as if their indigenous here oh ya & strawberrys too haha!!!
Pinot Noir is the best of the red varietals - bar none. I'm only disappointed they didn't feature any of the fine
Noirs from Northern Santa Barbara County and the Santa Rita Valley near Lompoc! They're making some of
the best tasting and smoothest I've ever had.
Nice one!
What a lovely story ! I can’t wait to try some 🍷

Totally buying a bottle. I am looking up Cloud's Rest right now!
I can't find. nevermind ... i knew it would be expensive... but wow! It's ouuta my league...Great story though.
Pinot Noir ❤️
Superb Dokumentary.
I am from Austria and i Love Pinot Noir too🇦🇹❤🇦🇹Austrian Pinot Noir is also very good 👧🙌🍷🍷
Pinot is amazing....this video is a little outdated but still amazing.
Holy is the word.
Let's drink!
Pino is the best
Paul Giamatti (Sideways) approves. Havent seen the movie? Watch it now. Right now.
exitthegame ughh...horrible movie. enjoyable, entertaining, sure...but horrible.
Would like to try this California Pino Noir. Interesting that in Burgundy even though this is a native grape variety and beautiful, they are most famous for their Chardonnay. Also Alsace, though known for white wines especially Riesling we are also here growing nice Pinot Noir; but this will not be a Grand Cru even if grown on Grand Cur land because it is not a noble grape in Alsace. Adding to my wish list try Pino Noir from Clouds Rest Vineyards. Very nice documentary!
I agree with the title
Miles from Sideways 🍷 brought me here.
Zinfandel must be the Ace of Spades.
Great documentary. ..its def. my go-to grape...but id still rather enjoy a nicely balanced IPA because I've never really considered myself a wine snob anyway...
No comparison. You can brew a US style IPA anywhere in world. Beer has no element of terroir.
My name is king kong from hong kong and i play ping pong.
My hobbies are film noir and pinot noir.
Best wine for the money at any price level. My all-time favorite is Savigny les Beaune, but it has gotten too costly for me to enjoy except for a really special occasion.
Hold on a minute........
The winemaker was standing their at the cold soak doing punchdown for colour & flavour extraction. He said that happens for a week before actual fermentation starts.......
But then he said they are going to press it out after a week to 14 days & put straight into oak barrels, is that without the fermentation stage???? Cant be, something got cut out here or the script is wrong..........
Pinot Noir the answer is always yes haha
Romanee Conti is fermenter with 100% stems... just saying, depends which type of wine you want and the quality of your grapes, Henri Jayer on the other side was indeed removing all, its up to you and both can make fantastic wines
Carlo Rossi gallon jug of Pinot Noir?
One can wish.....
????you please !!what you smoke ??is another wine so taste and so enjoy !please
good
So funny to hear about Pinot Noir delicacy and elegance from people outside Burgundy... Not that they don't make great wines, but not so much about that delicacy, complexity, temperament, and elegance that makes the grape reputation.
"The toughest grape". Sure it's a demanding grape, but the toughest? In Switzerland we basically only grow Pinot Noir because nothing else will grow here
you're talking with Americans, so it's about the same as if they'd talk about Röstis. They know and understand shit.
Simon Brunel as an American I can 100% confirm this
Really? Elaborate please.
1,000th like!
Bannockburn New Zealand ! Enough said
I like the fruit forwardness of N America PN's however the terroir of French make PNs that the rest of the world can not duplicate even if they want to try.
Every terroir land parcel has its minerals temperatures humidity and everyone is different
Amen to Pinot Noir, don't forget fruit wines like pineapple, banana, peach, they may suprise you. I know because once i started making them i haven't been able to stop.
One correction I'd like to make is wine was first made in Georgia at least 8000 years ago, a recent discovery found a clay pot they used for wine just like the ones the use today I think they are called quivi or something like that
I want to listen to Tom Beren-jar.
If wine wouldn't get you drunk, not so many would be interested
PINOOOOOOOOOOTT NOOOOOOIIIIIR!!! - Titus
The brunette woman was one of the testers from bottle shock movie.
pinooooot noooiiiirrrr
Damn stumbled across this documentary while I was looking for the recipe of making prison wine.
This guy Scott looks baked as fuck through the whole video lel
put in on .5 slow speed and the narrator will sound drunk
Adam from AdamRuinsEverything says otherwise lol
who else after watching this wants to go buy some pinot noir
With this rather rapid turnover in barrels, what most are tasting is from the new oak of the barrels and not necessarily the grape.
Why is the video only 360p??
Yeah.... Where's the Vodka??? 😂😹
minute 11 to 12. volcanic rock and ash are the most nutritious elements for any plant. quit saying it was hard and tough to grow vines there
Seems like the glasses are really small.
Sonoma County has the best wine, the best bud, and the most flavorful meth in the world!
Agreed
J - Try “Rutherford Wine.” Sonoma County. Red Wine. 🍷
wine is good for you and bud is good for you when eaten and meth is horrible and tastes like batteries.
PN is probably my least favorite red wine grape. The wines are often thin, watery and with too little tannin, almost like grape juice. Cab Sauv all the way!
packer812 you need to spend huge money to get great Pinot
I agree! Cabernet Sauvignon is full of flavor!
5:32: i like that the person holds the cute balloon glass inappropriately.
Do u get a buzz after drinking Pinot.
Yes
Irrigation ?
Be warned this isn't about Pinot Noir it's an infomercial for Clouds Rest,
citizenschallengeYT Miles????
It's good for men helps with testosterone and blood flow

I have only been drinking wine seriously for about 6 months or so. I thought wine was going to be sweet. So you could imagine my shock drinking cab. It took me the whole bottle before I started to get it and like it. Once I did, every other wine I had didn't stand up to a good cab. Being new to wine, I didn't know it was the tannins that I was enjoying so much. So Pinot just tastes bland, as do the others I have tried except riesling. I don't hate it, I just think they're overreacting to it. Again I am new, so it may be a flawed opinion. That's how I feel right now.
Zerothe everyone is entitled to their own opinion on wine, it is a very personal thing. I teach that to everyone that is new to the industry
It's not Welch's grape juice that's for sure
too true cab sauv is much better once you get the taste for it. PN is for new drinkers imho
I mean it's good, specially Oregon pinot noir,;delicious. But there is better grapes 🍇 I prefer Nebbiolo from Italia 🇮🇹
🎉
I hate dry wine!
