How does Pinot Noir differ from other red wines?

The main difference between Pinot Noir and other red wines is that it is lighter in body and the flavor is more delicate. Unlike the full-bodied and intense flavors of wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, Pinot Noir tends to be more subtle with flavors of red fruit, earthiness, and sometimes floral or spice notes.What is more, Pinot Noir is very terroir expressive because it shows the specificity of the place where it has been grown including soil composition, climate, and vineyard practices.
