Pinot Noire

[Thomas]

What ebill may be referring to is resveratrol.

Resveratrol is a chemical isolated at Cornell University as potentially beneficial to prevent both heart and cancer disease.

It is a natural chemical produced by grapes (in their skins) to fight disease in the vineyard. It is found moreso in red wine because of fermentation on the skins, and warm fermentation seems to draw out the chemical better.

Since Pinot Noir is awfully disease-prone in the vineyard, levesl of resveratrol seem to be highest in wines produced from that grape.
