Here in California it is extremely rare to see a Pinot Noir aged over 6 years. The reason why is that here in the US we grow traditionally in soil. In Italy they grow their Pinot Noir in clay which will increase the moisture for the grapes to decrease the thickness of the grapes skin and increase the tannins. This allows us to age our Pinot Noir's longer than normal to give a more complex taste of wine.
