<P> The tremendously broad range of bouquets , flavors , textures and impressions that pinot noir can produce sometimes confuses tasters . In the broadest terms , the wine tends to be of light to medium body with an aroma reminiscent of black and / or red cherry , raspberry and to a lesser extent currant and many other fine small red and black berry fruits . Traditional red Burgundy is famous for its savory fleshiness and `` farmyard '' aromas ( these latter sometimes associated with thiol and other reductive characters ) , but changing fashions , modern winemaking techniques , and new easier - to - grow clones have favored a lighter , more fruit - prominent , cleaner style . </P>
