B. Ferments erratically (D. All of the above)

Pinot Noir is difficult to grow for a number of reasons:

-Spring frosts kill the vine

-The child vines often produce fruit very different from their parents

-Every type of serious vine sickness is common in Pinot Noir

-Is a carrier for a couple of insects that can destroy an entire vineyard in 3 years or less

-It is hard to ferment

-The vines are so small that they often do not protect the fruit from birds

Winemakers love it for exactly these reasons.
